Thank you in advance Please see forwarded message below: Dear all, My name is Gianluca Pulsoni, Ph. D. student at Cornell University (Romance Studies). I am working on a book about Chris Marker and his oeuvre that will be out in two years. It is not an academic research, and it won't be a monograph. My purpose is a portrait of the French artist as a traveler, provide a critical approach to his works - from books to films/media art -, and then offer materials to readers (excerpts from some of his publications; interviews with people with whom he worked or was in touch). I thought the structures of a book as such in two parts: portrait and personal reading the first; materials the second. Regarding this second part, which will have four sections (Europe; America, Africa; East), I have already started collecting interviews by meeting people such as Nikolai Izvolov ("The Last Bolshevik") and others. In light of this approach, for the East section, I would like to get in touch with Japanese from the film/art or academic field who met/worked with him and willing to share and therefore tell their memories of him. Or just people whose intellectual research (books, exhibitions, or film programs and so forth) extensively focuses on CM, and therefore able to introduce me to the relationship Marker had with your culture and his legacy in Japan today.

This is the first time the film has shown in the UK for a very long time - I last saw it in Bristol back in 2005. I'm pretty certain it's the first time it will be shown here with a benshi. The benshi in question is Tomoko Komura, and she'll "will be narrating the scenes and dialogue (in English) in real time". Clive Bell, Sylvia Hallett and Keiko Kitamura will provide a live score on the shakuhachi, piano and koto respectively. There's a video introduction from Aaron Gerow prior to the screening, and I'm taking part in a panel discussion after with Pamela Hutchinson, Tomoko Komura, and director of the UCL Centre for the History of Psychological Disciplines, Professor Sonu Shamdasani.
