Yamagata?

[Anne McKnight]

Hi all,

I wondered if anyone wanted to share any overview of the highlights of  
Yamagata this year. I was very interested to see that the competition- 
winning film was a québecois film about neo-liberalism, Encirclement.

Was it reminiscent of Stephanie Black's Life and Debt (in the sense of  
taking a potentially turgid subject and making it very accessible in  
inventive ways)? How did it jibe with/as the follow-up of other  
related films Yamagata has screened, like Tsuchiya's Peep 'TV' Show?

I wondered how that went over, I and if there were other items in the  
landscape that grabbed you...

Thanks for any impressions, stray, systematic or otherwise.

Anne
