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

[Alexander Fee]

*Tasmania Story* is likely not with Toho; I would recommend reaching out to
Pony Canyon who represent Fuji TV productions internationally.

I will note that archives or distributors won't be receptive to lending
archival 35mm prints to a community group. In addition, should there be any
available materials, they'll likely be un-subtitled.

Best,
Alexander
