(A Toy Film History of Showa ? The Second Sino-Japanese War), a compilation of news film and some pretty remarkable home movie footage from the Toy Film Museum by Ota Yoneo (this has English language subtitles and is a shortened ?pilot version? of a longer film in the works); ?Retro Kyoto 1930;? ?Kyoto News de miru Gion Matsuri, 1956-1989;? ?The Lost World,? comic shorts and other titles.
