UK tour of Kihachiro Kawamoto films + British animation, March-May 2008

[Jasper Sharp]

I mentioned something about this tour a few months ago, but now the website is all ready and various other venues have confirmed. See: http://www.watershed.co.uk/kawamoto

The main event is in a fortnight, with numerous screenings and a panel discussion with Barry Purves and Aardman Animation's Peter Lord. A whole smorgasbord of delights for stop-motion animation fans - please spread the word and look forward to meeting any Kinejapanners at these venues.
