[KineJapan] Holder of Mizoguchi rights

[Cook, Ryan]

The Harvard Film Archive is currently presenting a complete retrospective of the extant Mizoguchi prints, which also showed, I think, last month at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York.  I've had a chance to see some rare ones, including Miyamoto Musashi on 16mm last night (which is not very good!).  Maybe Hayden Guest or someone at the film archive could provide rights/source info.

Hi!

Finnish Audio-Visual Institute (former Finnish Film Archive) has screened several Mizoguchi classics during the past years - I subbed some of them into Finnish). You could contact them to ask the print sources and they might even hold a print or two.

Dear Sten,

Others can add more detail, but I believe most everything in the former Daiei catalog now belongs to Kadokawa.

I understand your reservations about the NFC. They no longer seem interested in working with festivals.

Have you considered the Japan Foundation as a source?

Best Regards,

Dear Kinejapaners,
I hope you'd be able to help with a small help request.
Namely, I am asked to help a colleague from the Baltics with a small retrospective of Mizoguchi and wonder if someone could point me to the Japanese rightsholder.
As far as I remember the latter films of his were Daiei, but I'm not sure if his catalog was transferred to Kadokawa later.

By any chance are there good quality prints in BFI or other European archives as I fear dealing with NFC and their print fees and procedures could be a bit too much for the organizers.

With many thanks in advance
Sten Saluveer
