Japanese Films in Berlin 1963-64

[Li Hoo Cheong]

Dear members

The annual Berlin FF is currently held in February, but in the 1960s I
recall that it was held either in June or July.  I am searching for the
exact month when the following Japanese films won a prize back in 1963
and 1964.  I saw the Imai film in Hong Kong back in 1963.

1963  "Bushido zankoku monogatari" directed by Imai Tadashi won the
Golden Bear

1964  Hidari Sachiko won the Best Actress award for her performance in 2
films,
      "Nippon Konchikuki" and "Kanojo and kare"

I checked the official web site of Berlin FF, but could not find the
exact month.  Also, the entry for Hidari Sachiko appears twice, one for
her first film and one for her second film.  If there
were two actresses, they would be co-winners.  Since only Sachiko was
involved, I wonder did she get two awards, or just one (Bear)?

Checking the film magazines or film annuals back then would give me the
answer, but I do not have access to them.  The 1960 "Eiga nenkan" cites
July as the month for the 1959 Berlin Film Festival, and Sato Tadao's
"Nihon eiga shi" gives June as the month for the 1963 Berlin FF.

Any information on this will be much appreciated.  Thanks.
