From rsuchens at bard.edu Wed Aug 20 22:14:59 2014 From: rsuchens at bard.edu (Richard I. Suchenski) Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 22:14:59 -0400 Subject: [KineJapan] Hou Hsiao-hsien Message-ID: <53F55623.4010207@bard.edu> Dear everyone, As some of you know, Hou Hsiao-hsien is the focus of the first major international initiative coordinated through the Center for Moving Image Arts at Bard College (CMIA). The book, which includes contributions from several members of this list, has just been published (http://www.cup.columbia.edu/book/978-3-901644-58-0/hou-hsiaohsien). Its release is synchronized with a comprehensive retrospective that premiered at the Austrian Film Museum in May and will travel to seventeen cities worldwide through the end of 2015. The retrospective includes the best available film prints of all of Hou's features, some of them newly struck from the original negatives. Most of these prints will not travel widely again, so I hope many of you will have the chance to see them at one of the venues participating in the tour. Details and schedules will be added to this section of the CMIA website as they become available (http://www.bard.edu/cmia/publications). With best wishes, Richard -- Richard I.

Regarding Markus' point about the number of Japanese voters, I was asked to offer a few suggestions for suitable names in Japan who might contribute, although this was done at a rather late stage before the poll cut-off date. It might be possibly however that the names contacted didn't respond to the (english-language) solicitation, which is a pity, although it does happen quite frequently that messages to people in the Japanese industry, particularly in the english language, are ignored by their recipients, which is a tragedy in its own right, although its sad that no one from YDIFF was consulted.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Markus, Thanks for this - especially for the essay on Suo's Ozu-esque ABNORMAL FAMILY. It's already led me to finding an English subbed version on YouTube... Ahhh: this is my third great Japanese retrospective film discovery joy of 2014, alongside Shimuzu's NAKINURETA HARU NO ONNA YO and Mizoguchi's GUBIJINSO in Alex Jacoby and Johan Nordstr?m's latest 1930's program at Bologna (and thanks again, guys...). I believe Suo's film already gets some use in teaching Ozu in undergrad cinema studies. If so, it's a fascinating way of introducing pinku eiga into the classroom.
