I had heard about Hara as well. But since I also knew about Michael's 
subtitling of Hawaii, perhaps his version could be used by Minnesota to 
actually produce a version more accessible to all? I guess I am still 
not quite sure how to respond to this request because I don't know what 
is going to be produced and how.

Yes. For  instance, several have suggested Somai, a director who 
definitely needs to be seen more and more often (he would be the first 
director I would suggest to Lewis when asking about post 1970s films), 
but most of his films have been subtitled for the various retros that 
have been done of him recently. Typhoon Club, which is my favorite of 
his films, is relatively easy to get with subtitles through the JF (we 
showed it last year at Yale).
