[KineJapan] 21st Nippon Connection Film Festival

[LCE]

Thanks. I do teach about the 1964 Olympics, so I hope to take advantage of
the film and talk. Is there information about how my university library
could purchase the documentary?

It's quite an amazing line-up of films, talks, and other events.
