One thing that was interesting was that a man on the sponsoring committee actually wrote, produced and distributed a rebuttal to the main jist of the film?that people from hisabetsu buraku backgrounds are still undergoing discrimination. (As opposed to things being much better, from am elder generation POV.) I talked to the director, and it sounded like subtitles were in the works. He was getting help on some of the more complicated terminologies and vernaculars from a couple of academics (Ian Neary, I remember, maybe more). So I would not be surprised if it were available somehow. He seemed open to popping in to talk about the film (in the context of programming, classes). And had a lot to say about producing labors of love, his own trajectory, observational tendencies in doc filmmaking post-Wiseman, etc. I would love to work on getting it screened in LA, if anyone in the area is up for it, as my university is pretty broke, and only works with collaborations?

I'm a third-year film student from the UK, currently researching the Japanese Experimental Filmmaking movement pre-2000s' as part of my Dissertation. When researching for a chapter on the involvement of female experimental filmmakers from Japan, I spoke with many curators and filmmakers, but one filmmaker that came up often was ?tsuki Natsuko ?????, a filmmaker whose work has been of great interest to me. However, I haven't been able to view any of her work or contact her regarding further information. As one of her films was screened at the YIDFF film festival in 1997 ( https://yidff.jp/97/cat091/97c103-3-e.html?) I wanted to enquire if you have any contact information, or the way I could view Otsuki Natsuko's works, and contact her regarding any further questions about her work. She would be a critical filmmaker to mention in my research, and I'd love the chance to know more about her. I hope to hear from someone soon.

While able to work with intellectuals like Hasumi, he also wrote for a popular audience and was a champion of program pictures (he also wrote a lot on manga). As an editor he, for instance, helped edit the groundbreaking journal Shinema 69. His collections of Japanese film reviews spanning several decades are amazing for their depth and breadth. At the same time, he did much for the field of film studies, helping put together such essential resources as the Gendai Nihon eigaron taikei or the recent Nihon eiga sakuhin daijiten. He helped me on a number of occasions and was always a pleasure to talk to at Yamagata and other festivals. A real gentleman. I got to translate a few of his writings, which I still use in class. He will be sorely missed. https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASR2P6793R2PULZU017.html Aaron Gerow Alfred W.
