[KineJapan] Obayashi Nobuhiko screening licenses

[Alexander Fee]

Hi Hal,

*Bound for the Fields* is a Toho title, you'd have to clear rights by them
(around 500 USD minimum) and screen via an imported print as they typically
won't approve digital materials. There's a 16mm print from Japan Foundation
that's available.

Best,
Alexander
