[KineJapan] "The Aesthetics of Shadow" Retrospective @ New York and Berlin

Tue Dec 24 19:32:21 EST 2013

Dear KineJapaners,
I see that part 1 of The Aesthetics of Shadow, Part 1: Japan is up the MoMA website and, contrary to my guess, is largely before KinemaClub XIII on January 7th to 19th.http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/films/1449
It dooesn't seem that you can book tickets more than a week before the screening which, even though that's a week more than at Tokyo NFC, is tricky for booking flights ahead.

It's also tricky for KineClub - papers
