Mia: I believe the Library of Congress has copies, but not for general circulation. Only for viewing there (a very interesting experience in itself). Linda Ehrlich

Interests with regard to Japanese film and moving image media: 
 
For this current documentary project, I would like to view the following two Japanese films:
- Chokoreto to heitai (Chocolate and soldiers), directed by Takeshi Sato, first aired in Osaka Nov 30, 1938
- Nishizumi Senshacho-Den (The Story of Tank Commander Nishizumi), directed by Kosaburo Yoshimura, first aired at the Kokusai cinema, Nov 29, 1940

I haven't been able to find them on the web, at Amazon.ca nor Amazon.com, at any of our specialized video stores, at zip.ca...  I contacted the Kawakita Memorial Film Institute in Japon, as well as The Asian Film Archives but they couldn't help.  I searched the websites of the National Film Center of the NMOMA in Tokyo, and NHK but have come up with nothing.  I also contacted the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre here in Montreal, the Canada-Japan Society, the Japanese consulat of Canada, the Japan Society of New York, the Center for Asian American Media, and the Canadian association of Asiatic Studies, but no-one was able to offer any other suggestions of where I might find these.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you, much appreciated,
 
Mia
