[KineJapan] Seeking Taku Shinjo's "Aokigahara"

[Stephen Cremin]

Yes, looks like a lost film. Did it ever screen outside Japan? Amazing how a film can disappear in three years now. As a festival programmer, I'm getting links to screeners that expire in a week or less. Films like AOKIGAHARA are the new silent cinema. The film's website is now offline. All that exists are some low-resolution images of the film elsewhere on the web.

AOKIGAHARA  is not on FestivalScope, which has some of the TIFF films going back to 2013. But AOKIGAHARA was in the Special Screenings section, so wouldn't have been there anyway. Perhaps Skip City can arrange a screening for you if you visit their office, since they screened it ahead of Tokyo IFF in 2012. Otherwise, yes, try Ark Entertainment.

Does anyone know where I might find a copy of "Aokigahara," a film by Taku Shinjo based on a novella by Shintaro Ishihara that screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2012? It doesn't seem to be available in any of the usual places (video rental stores, Amazon, libraries), and a direct email I sent to the director was returned undeliverable. Should I try emailing the distributor (Ark Entertainment)?

Thank you,
