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

[Peter Grilli]

Jasper,

Thanks for putting together such a great retrospective of Kawamoto's
films, and for the beautiful website that accompanies it.
Kihachiro Kawamoto is such a master puppet-animator that I hope many
audiences all over the UK fall under the spell of his films -- as I have
whenever I've seen them.

CONGRATULATIONS on this fine series!

Peter

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.
