KINEJAPAN digest 3056

[mjraine at uchicago.edu]

I think the important conduit is the Edinburgh film festival. Oshima was one of the heroes of the festival in the mid-1970s, which also ran a conference and publication, and Screen would also organize screenings of the films in London. I have some of the Edinburgh publications but I'm in Japan at the moment so I can't look through them. Does anyone else have copies?

>   I am fascinated by the fact that Stephen Heath

>   and "Anata mo" (both in Screen, 1976).
>   Although there is, for a brief period, some

>   only lasts for a couple of issues.
>   Does anyone know if there was a major Oshima
>   retrospective in England or around that prompted
>   scholars to write about
>   Death by Hanging all of a sudden after 8 years from
>   its release in Japan (and the Marche du Film at 1968
>   Cannes).
