A Page of Madness/ Special Screening

[J.sharp]

This is wonderful news. Does this mean it will appear in hardcopy Mark, or
as a pdf, like the Noel Burch reprint?

> I should mention that our Center for Japanese Studies Press will be
publishing Aaron Gerow's book-length analysis and historiography of Page of
Madness. He is currently finishing up the ms, so I suppose it will be out in
the next year or so. It's very, very good.MarkusOn Apr 2, 2007, at 8:45 AM,

informal double bill with Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly) at the ICA a few
years ago. fantastic stuff, even though i missed out on the crazy Jazz
drumming. Fingers crossed for a DVD. Jasper, i'd be interested to hear more
about the reasons why Criterion didn't want to put the film out...    Dean

screening / restoration might finally lead to a DVDrelease. Its always
amazed me how this was never available (grey market aside) on video/dvd in
Japan, and there was clearly good reasons why no onelike Criterion had put
it out, given the films reputation and historicalimportance.This just played
in Bristol about a fortnight ago, along with a live accompaniment from some
crazy jazz drummer and preceded by a screening ofSerene Velocity. I'm not
sure if my wife has forgiven me for dragging heralong to the event yet, but
hell, I enjoyed it!Jasper --------- Original Message --------From:

Special Screening Date: 01/04/07 14:48&gt; As a special event to mark the
Tokyo meeting of FIAF (FédérationInternational des Archives du Film), the
National Film Center and AsahiShinbun (Asahi News) are sponsoring a special
screening of a newly restored A Page of Madness. The event will take place
at Asahi Yuraku-cho Hall onSunday 8 April, 2007 at 19:30. (All seats
reserved.) This new restoration issimilar to the print currently in
circulation; both derive from a print of the film found in Kinugasa's house
in 1971, a print that is believed to be ashortened version of the 1926
original. This new restoration, however,returns the film to the original
aspect ratio common in the "silent" era, 1:1.33 The screening features piano
accompaniment by TakahashiYuuji.-----Jonathan M. HallJapanese Film, Media,
