Higuchi Gen'ichiro

[Aaron Gerow]

Higuchi Gen'ichiro, one of Japan's most famous science filmmakers, died 
on the 23rd at the age of 99. He started making films in 1942 and 
continued for nearly 60 years, concentrating especially on science 
documentaries. His work has been featured at the Yamagata International 
Documentary Film Festival and the neoneo-za in Tokyo is planning a 
small festival of his works to commemorate what would have been his 
100th birthday on March 14. Information on the festival is available in
