I just received a notice about the opening of a new film archive in 
Japan called the Kobe Planet Film Archive. It is a semi-private 
archive, mostly based on the collection of Yasui Yoshio, and requires a 
fee to use. But it boasts over 5000 films and over 10000 books. It will 
regularly hold screenings of films in its collection, but while it does 
seem to have private viewing facilities, it is not yet clear how many 
of the films researchers can view on their own. The Archive officially 
opens March 25. The home page is below:
