EVENT: Tetsuaki Matsue's Annyong Kimchee at SOAS, London, 12 November.

[Jasper Sharp]

For all London-based Kinejapanners, here's some information about an event I am involved in this month at SOAS, which is being held as part of Zipangu Fest (http://zipangufest.com/).
Be good to see some of you there:

Putting the 'I' in Independent Filmmaking: An Introduction to 'Jishu Eiga'
Jasper Sharp explores the history of this most vibrant of independent
  filmmaking subcultures in an illustrated lecture, looking at  
representative works such as Naomi Kawase’s depiction of her  
unconventional family history in Katatsumori (1994) and Kenji 
Murakami’s  more playful look at coming to terms with his new 
living environment  after he gets married and moves to the suburbs in How I Survive in  Kawaguchi City (Kawaguchi de ikiru yo!, 2003).

This will be followed by a  rare UK screening of Japanese-Korean filmmaker Tetsuaki Matsue’s  Annyong Kimchee (1999), an investigation into the importance of ethnic  and cultural roots and what it means to be Japanese.

All Welcome, the event is free and open to the public; no booking is required.
