[KineJapan] Documentary filmmaker Hamada Hideo （浜田英夫）query

[Bernardi, Joanne]

Dear colleagues,

I’m seeking more information on the filmmaker Hamada Hideo, who worked in 8mm and 16mm films (Hamada Productions), and specifically his film “Wakai kokoro no uta,” which I’ve found translated as “Poem of the Young Hearts”   (16mm, BW 55 min., 1969). Work on the film began in 1957 as an 8mm visual diary of second graders, and eventually focused on a blind student, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, after Hamada switched over to 16mm. I’ve found a few random references online but wondered if anyone can direct me to more substantial resources.

Thanks,

Joanne
