Yamagata in Tokyo 2006

[Mark Nornes]

In a couple weeks, the annual Yamagata Film Festival in Tokyo will  
start up. An entire month of documentaries shown up north last year.  
At least for those lucky enough to live in Tokyo. It's a fantastic  
slate of films, many of which are in English subtitles.

Check out the link at the bottom of the list. It's for a special  
program of classic documentaries celebrating the publication of a  
book of interviews conducted for YIDFF's Documentary Box. It's a  
fantastic program and chance to see what you could call the core of  
the canon, including a rare performance of Matsumoto's For My Crushed  
Right Eye with triple projection (I doubt they'll use the magnesium  
flares to end the show, tho). What's more, after film discussions  
with the likes of Tokieda Toshie, Matsumoto Toshio, Hara Kazuo,  
Suzuki Shiroyasu, Tsuchimoto Noriaki, Otsu Koshiro, Oki Hiroyuki,  
Tsuchiya Yutaka, and Sato Makoto. Fantastic!
