KCVIII & NC comments

[Alex Zahlten]

Hi,

thanks to everyone for their kind words- it was great to have the KC conference at Nippon Connection, and I hope both the conference and the festival were fruitful for everyone there.

One of the things I somewhat regret in retrospect was not having planned in some discussion at the conference regarding the festival. Nippon Connection, due to the fact that it's organized by volunteers, organizationally a lot more open and flexible than many other festivals. This also makes it easier tp incorporate new projects or implement structural changes (it also makes some changes impossible, but that's a different matter). It would have been great to have a discussion on the current relation between film from Japan and film festivals, or more generally on how (and which) films are presented and handled. And, of course, on how this relates to Nippon Connection specifically. So maybe we can have this kind of dicussion on the list- if there are ideas and comments, or even just impressions, it would be great (and important) to discuss them.

Alex

P.S.
By the way, parts of the digital program have now already set off on their tour, and anyone interested in screening them can contact me off the list for further infirmation.
