[KineJapan] Pink Film Restoration Project

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

I had a nice talk with Aihara Hiromi, who helps out with foreign film
festivals here and there. She's involved in an interesting project. Rapid
Eye Lab (Peter Schulz, Stephan Holl, et al) acquired a Black Magic scanner
that enables 4K scans on the (relative) cheap. They are apparently
focussing on independent films of note, and not just Japan.

The pink film project was just announced at Berlin with a tribute to
producer Sato Keiko. First films are Yamatoya's *Inflatable Sex Doll of the
Wastelands, *Adachi's *Gushing Prayer* and Suo's *Abnormal Family*. Films
by Mukai and Watanabe in the pipeline.

I've heard the film center has collected some pink film, but I've never
heard of restorations. So this is a great thing, and the choices are
interesting. These films are easily rentable now for those involved in
programming. Details are in the attached press kit.
