[Kinema Club] [KineJapan] "The Aesthetics of Shadow" Retrospective @ Berlin International Film Festival

Sun Nov 10 07:31:34 EST 2013

New York in January?  That's also 
interesting.
Given what they seem to have in the pipeline, already, I 
would take it that screenings are more likely to be after Kineclub on January 
17-8, rather than before ?   I'm just thinking about my plane tickets, as must 
others, if you have any further guidance, Daisuke.
best,
Roger
