self-introduction

[Mitch Cullin]

Welcome, Jed.  I think you'll find the KineJapan group
to be incredibly friendly and, too, an invaluable
resource of diverse perspectives.

Hello, my name is Jed Rapfogel, I've worked for
several years at Anthology Film Archives in New York
City, and have recently become involved in the
programming.  I've been writing film criticism for
several years as well, and have written reviews and
articles on Oshima, Shinji Aoyama, and Kiyoshi
Kurosawa among others.  As a binge filmgoer, I'm still
reeling from this past fall's embarassment of riches,
thanks to the Film Society's series devoted to
Shochiku, the extensive series at MoMA of films from
Tokyo's National Film Center, a short Mizoguchi retro
at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and, best of all,
Film Forum's Naruse retrospective.  Looking forward to
taking part in the discussions on this list.

City: New York

"As the movie industry becomes more like the merchandising industry, the book business becomes more like the movie industry.  There's more pressure.  I think it's very difficult to be a young writer today.  I fear that young writers, after one or two books, will disappear the way young film directors do."  --Don DeLillo
