Kanai Katsu films on DVD

[Fujioka Asako]

Mathieu asked about the DVD release of Kanai Katsu films with English
subtitles some weeks ago. 
Mr Kanai is thinking of a limited edition (perhaps 100?) of his 5 films to
be released next year as a Kanai Katsu DVD Box. Mathieu commented that 100
units is too little. But Mr Kanai does not think that they will sell
tremendously. Any ideas? 
His films have not been released on VHS or DVD anywhere yet, though
apparently there is a pirated VHS by someone who videotaped Tokiga Fubuku
(Stormy Times) as it played in a theater! which is circulating
internationally. 
Born 1936, Kanai Katsu is a maverick pioneer of Japanese independent film.
He has just finished making English subtitles for his five major films which
were showcased in a retrospective at Oberhausen Film Festival this year.
