[KineJapan] Ainu Documentary Screening

[Jim Harper]

Hello!

Do you know if Yamamoto's political leanings were an important aspect of his films? They seem to have been in his 1968 version of the Kaidan Botandoro, but do they extend to his other works?

Jim.

 For some reason, I was just thinking
 about the odd Ainu appearance that 
 served as a backdrop in Yamamoto Satsuo's 1966 film
 "Freezing Point 
 (Hyouten)."
 
 It really stands out in the film. I was wondering if
 Yamamoto had done 
 anything else with the Ainu or minority rights in Japan. I
 know that he 
 was long involved with the Communist Party in Japan.
