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

Tue Jan 7 09:02:26 EST 2014

Hi Eija,

Sorry for the late reply, you caught me between flights. Happy new year of the horse!

We’re planning a very informal screening for Thursday evening, around 6:30, but we still have to decide… The finalized schedule will go out in two days (nothing has basically changed).

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Best,
Alex

Around what time are the screenings and your introductions?

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
