film events in Tokyo this summer -sono ichi / Gandara Sekai Eigasai

[Jonathan M. Hall]

Dear KineJapanners,

In response to Markus' query about interesting film-related events  
this summer, I thought I'd mention the 2nd Gandara Sekai Eigasai that  
is happening at Uplink Factory from 18 June to 1 July.  Titled  
"Utsukushii kuni e" (Towards a Beautiful Country) in reference to PM  
Abe's recent speech.  The series is associated with documentarian  
Mori Tatsuya (A and A2),  who leads regular teach-ins at Uplink, and  
offers a lot of political critique through film of Abe's rhetoric,  
international neoliberalism, and current social problems in Japan  
from Marxist, anarchist, and other perspective.  Please see  
www.imagerings.jp for more details.  There are 4 programs (A-D), the  
last of which contains some of the best films from last year's festival.

Yours,
Jonathan
