Dokyumento: Rojo

[Frako Loden]

Tsuchimoto Noriaki's "Dokyumento: Rojo" (On the 
Road: A Document) and "Aru kikan joshi" (An 
Engineer's Assistant) screened at UC Berkeley's 
Pacific Film Archive on March 9, 2004. You might 
want to contact programmer Kathy Geritz 
(kgeritz at berkeley.edu) to see if she knows how 
you can get ahold of a copy:
