[KineJapan] Looking for a film print of タスマニア物語, (Tasumania Monogatari) by Yasuo Furuhata

[Markus Nornes]

Are enough looking for 35mm? I’m sure Toho has it, but they will not help
you.  But you could ask. But you could ask the smaller production company,
just in case.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia have it on disc and
tape  (NFSA
ID - 1657852). It looks like they may have the producer’s papers as well.

Tough one!
