But the event is certainly worth attending, if you can come to Montreal.
Best wishes,livia

>>  
>>  In collaboration with the Cinematheque Quebecoise and colleagues from McGill
>> University & Concordia University, I'm organizing a three-day film festival

>> Japanese Experimental Cinema of the Sixties" to be held in Montreal this
>> September. This event will take place on the weekend of September 16th (Fri),
>> 17th (Sat), and 18th (Sun). This event is designed to accompany a large
>> retrospective on the Art Theatre Guild films (which will be traveling from
>> Paris, London, and to Montreal this summer/fall), hosted by the Cinematheque
>> Quebecoise. The confirmed keynote speaker for this joint celebration of
>> Japanese avant-garde and experimental cinema of the 1960s and 1970s, is the
>> eminent filmmaker and theorist Matsumoto Toshio.
>>  
>>  As some of you may already know from Julian's email, the BFI and Birkbeck
>> College will be hosting the London counterpart of the ATG Retrospective and a
>> symposium in July. If you are in North America, and cannot go to London to
>> catch these exciting films, please do come to Montreal!
>>  
>>  We are still in the process of finalizing the program, but the experimental
>> film program part of "Visual Underground" that will run from Sept 16th-18th
>> will screen works of the following filmmakers: Matsumoto Toshio, Oshima
>> Nagisa, Adachi Masao, Jônouchi Motoharu, and Okabe Michio.
>>  
>>  I will follow up with more detailed information about the event, and will
>> send you a link to the website soon. In the meantime, if you are interested
>> in coming to Montreal to attend the screenings and the symposium, and looking
>> for an affordable accommodation, the following website is very useful:
>> www.airbnb.com <http://www.airbnb.com> . Just to let you know, most of the
>> event will take place at various venues in downtown Montreal, around McGill
>> University and Concordia University. Please do mark your calendar, and I hope
>> very much to see you here.
