[KineJapan] Edward Yang's Yi Yi

[Naoki Yamamoto]

Dear all,

I know this might be a bit off-topic to to this forum, but could anyone on the list tell me who’s the current copyright holder of Edward Yang’s Yi Yi (2000)? I plan to screen this wonderful film at UCSB in this coming May, borrowing its 35mm print from Yale’s film archive. But the Yale’s archivist recently told me that there’s actually some unspecified “complication” with the rights to the film, and for this reason, Pony Canyon, the Japanese comply that claimed to be the film’s copyright holder, could not give them permission for a screening back in 2014.

Are there anyone who recently screened this film at a film festival or any public setting? If so, could you kindly help me solve this complication?

All the best,
Naoki
