Japan Film Series in the South (USA)

[Jonathan M Hall]

I noticed this announcement on H-Asia.
Surely some KineJapanners must be involved---or at least interested.
I'd be really curious to hear about the curatorial project. Why these  
film? Why these films together?
It's really wonderful to hear of Japanese cinema events beyond the  
usual venues.
