KINEJAPAN digest 2566

[Marc Walkow]

This is a related event to the World Premiere of Miike's new anime  
adaptation YATTERMAN, which our festival is organizing. We're bringing  
Miike and star / pop singer Sho Sakurai to NYC for the premiere on  
Friday the 6th (a screening not open to the public), in conjunction  
with Nikkatsu and the NY Comic Con. Miike will host a panel at the  
Comic Con on Friday afternoon, as well.

We had originally wanted to plan a lot of additional events with him  
in NYC - including talks at NYU and/or Columbia - but most of our  
proposals were shot down by the Japanese companies involved.
