[KineJapan] Iwasa Hisaya

[Gerow Aaron]

I was sad to see that the documentary filmmaker Iwasa Hisaya just passed away. Seiko and I saw his wonderful film Oro just the other month. He was veteran of Iwanami, but became known for his more experimental films. Recent work like Oro (about Tibetan refugees) had focused a lot on other parts of Asia. Gomeifuku o oinori itashimasu.
