films for my master's thesis

[TRAN, Si Bang]

Hello Mr. Brian JENKINS:
	
I usually just lurk on the KineJapan distribution list,
but I believe that I might be able to refer you to some
film titles, for consideration.  
							
    *Annyon Kimuchi [An'nyoung Kimchi]*, 1993, Directed
        by MATSUE Tetsuaki.  
							
    *Biito [Beat]*, 1998, Directed by MIYAMOTO Amon.  
							
    *Dojji go go [Dodge a-Go Go]*, 2002, Directed by
        MIHARA Mitsuhiro.  
							
    *KT*, 2002, Directed by SAKAMOTO, Junji.  
							
    *Yoru Wo Kakete [Through the Night]*, 2002, Directed
        by KIM Su-jin.  
	
By the way, has not KITANO "Beat" Takeshi done some
films about gangsters in Okinawa?  
	
I believe that there are several books available about
minorities in Japan, but they are not film related.
