[KineJapan] Film fests of yore in Yurakucho/Hibiya

[Maria Jose Gonzalez]

 Anne, 
シャンテシネ is just the short form of Chanter Cine(ma).I suppose that any publication (posters, programmes, fliers) relative to the Toho Cinemas in this area, indeed known as 有楽町東宝映画街, carried/ carry this sentence.You might find the following article of interest. 
It mentions, for example, that the Yurakucho Toho Cinemas were the first ones to use the term "Road Show" in Japan, together with loads more of interesting bits.【ミニシアター再訪】第14回　映画の街・銀座からの巻き返し・・・その3　銀座・ミニシアター元年　1987（CINEMORE） - Yahoo!ニュース

Incidentally, a Kurosawa signed poster for the 1993 Festival is now up for auction at over 30,000 yen last time I looked.;-)

 These are fantastic; thanks so much for sharing them with all that readable copy and vivid graphics!
 シャンテシネ is the title of that publication? It looks like something local put out by the entertainment complex? Judging by the 「 有楽町東宝映画街 」by the pagination…

 According to シャンテシネ, this retrospective took place in 1993 and indeed "The Bad Sleep Well" is not included.This is the programme but unfortunately, the date has been cut out.

 Hi all~
I’m wondering if anyone who has pounded the pavements and darkened the doors of the theatres in the Yurakucho area might know of any film fests particularly associated with the Hibiya Chanter (日比谷シャンテ) theatre? I ask because Kurosawa Akira was in about 1991 miffed that one of his films (The Bad Sleep Well) was not included at the retrospective of his films that screened there; he hints that it is too déclassé for the time and place. The whole Kurosawa feature was probably a part of a larger festival, as he does refer to a フェスティバル. If I had access to PIA I would go back and look at the listings, but I don’t, so if anyone has a memory of being there or reading about festivals that took place in Hibiya, or strolling by the marquees even, I would very much enjoy hearing about these events.
Thanks!
