Japan Film Series in the South (USA)

[drainer at mpinet.net]

I don't know about the other two universities, but regarding Florida and 
Eckerd, faculty has tried to set up screenings for a while.

I think Joseph Murphy may have something to do with it,  as he panned out a 
mini Japanese film festival some time ago. You can ask him, he's on the 
list.

Outside of Universities screenings in Florida are typically sponsored by the 
Japanese consulate, and usually held in Miami, although this month they are 
venturing to Orlando for this:
