Again, I haven't watched the DVDs yet and I don't know anything about their quality, but the case reminds me of Fighting Soldiers' DVD, a bare bones release with less-than-excellent image quality, but still an important work to have on a physical format, in my opinion at least. > > Matteo Boscarol > ????? ???? > ??????????? > - LuccaFilmFestival > Asia and Japan Correspondent > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__luccafilmfestival.it&d=CwIFJg&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=rUsnMl3RHl3hmXacJneay7Lv43nm9PpCcRkJeu21AtY&s=c947zoyyAy3CAbPc0KP7K72U2W0SwgCegMEGmT2WP8E&e= > - Sonatine2010 > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.sonatine2010.blogspot.jp&d=CwIFJg&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=rUsnMl3RHl3hmXacJneay7Lv43nm9PpCcRkJeu21AtY&s=7U8QgQSbP5O5AcayOdHkGwPq6YJd4_ohPhS_P69nTfQ&e= > - Storia(e) del Documentario in Giappone > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__storiadocgiappone.wordpress.com&d=CwIFJg&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=e7qMG9KFq7WNnPQWULWHJA&m=rUsnMl3RHl3hmXacJneay7Lv43nm9PpCcRkJeu21AtY&s=n1d8GcGXPkR9I3YS_m69NROALchoQxggnFZGtlGo3Q8&e= > - Screenweek Japan > >> On Mar 1, 2016, at 10:57 AM, amnornes at umich.edu wrote: >> >> The exclusion of subtitles is unfortunate.

I'm glad it's not just my obsession! Thanks also to Aiko Masubuchi and Kazu Watanabe of Japan Society for doing an amazing amount of work getting everything ready. I wish I could have shown more films and covered more periods. Maybe next time...? All but two of the films (You Can Succeed, Too and Irresponsible Era of Japan) are hard-subtitled. Most of the prints are from the National Film Center but The Stormy Man, Ah Bomb, Treatise on Japanese Bawdy Song, and Memories of Matsuko are from the Japan Foundation. The Stormy Man and Memories of Matsuko are playing at the University of Chicago in early May. Unfortunately, it seems that the prints can't be held over until after the summer, though I would be very happy to help out if anyone is interested in trying to arrange something.

Pony Canyon were the major investor of the film, and may have financed it 100% (or with some small help from Tokyo-based Omega Project), after other investors pulled out after the Asian financial crisis. The project was announced at a press conference in Busan as one of three films by Stanley Kwan, Edward Yang and Iwai Shunji. So, yes, Pony Canyon likely own the global rights to Yang?s film. While Naoko asks for the ?currently copyright holder?, what she needs is ?currently copyright holder in the United States?. I?m travelling and don?t have access to last year?s Busan catalogue, but the information inside may not be relevant since the ?Print Source? is likely a local (not US) copyright holder or Pony Canyon itself. Pony Canyon did early on hire London-based sales agency Capitol Films to handle the film?s global rights, but I?m sure that deal has expired. Similarly, Capitol initially licensed it to Winstar Cinema in the US, but it?s unlikely that contract lasted more than 15 years, and rights would have reverted to Pony Canyon. Perhaps the ?unspecified complication? was the screening fee. If there is a US copyright holder, Pony Canyon will tell you, since it?s not worth their trouble to collect small screening fees from around the world for one-off screenings, particularly late in a film?s life. You?ll likely have to pay something to screen it. For many years, the hardest place to see the film was actually Taiwan, where there had been no public screening or release. But there was a very cheap (legal) Hong Kong DVD - I paid HK$18 or US$2.35 - that film-lovers would bring back. It later screened as the closing film at a Hou Hsiao-hsien-organised festival; only I think after Yang?s death. In summary, contact Pony Canyon (intl at ponycanyon.co.jp). This is one example where they absolutely deserve any screening fee since they really stepped up and got this film made when they could have easily dropped the project. It only exists because of them. The Iwai film - a dystopian English-language science fiction film - was never made.

Yes, what I wanted to know was who could give me permission for the screening of this film in the US. And following Stephen?s suggestion, I already contacted Pony Canyon, but not using the intl at ponycanyon.co.jp address which is notorious for replying so slowly. Instead, I simply called the company and talked directly to the person in charge. That person implied there would be some conflicts regarding oversea distribution, but promised to get back to me with more detailed information. I will keep you posted about what would happen with this endeavor. Another film to be screened at UCSB this May is Apichatpong Weerasethakul?s new film Cemetery of Splendor (2015), and everything has been cleared on this side.

So this might be the "unspecified complication". There may be some ways of showing it as part of lecture or educational program, but probably not as a regular cinema screening.

In fact, I got interested in the influence Sato had on Soda and also on Funahashi when working on Japanese documentaries on the 311 catastrophe. I recently published a book of interviews with film directors, at the University of Tokyo Press (UTCP Booklet, bilingual french-english) : /Fukushima in Film, Voices from Japanese Cinema/. Both Soda and Funahashi have interviews in it. Page 108, Soda mentions Sato's influence during his formative years. If anyone in the KineJapaners community is interested, please email me. I will be very happy to send a pdf version of the printed book, since it's currently impossible to buy the book, and UTCP will soon post an online version of the book...

John Rajchman had spoken about the immersive nature of a Chinese image, so the viwer has to enliven hte image/picture by entering it, inhabiting it. Any ideas? Suggestions?

Animatricks animation festival in Helsinki would be interested in the 2 wartime Momotaro films. I know the 2 places where they exist as film copies are NFC and Planet in Osaka. But am I right that they were made into DVD or Bluray? Who has distribution rights for those?
