Keep Watching for Japan: A Night of Film Screenings

A wonderful friend of ours, Aiko Masubuchi, is hosting a night of film screenings at Think Coffee on Mercer St. Friday, April 8th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Aiko is from Japan and would like to extend an invitation to get together to hear from others who are working to make a difference, and celebrate some Japanese cinema.

Thanks to Ian Stimler, co-founder of KIMSTIM, they will be screening shorts by Koji Yamamura, a highly acclaimed Japanese independent animator. They will most likely be screening Franz Kafka’s A Country Doctor, 2003 Oscar short film nominee, Mt. Head, and a couple other shorts.

The screening will be followed by a live Skype conversation with members of My Japan Earthquake, a grassroots movement working directly with those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. They will be open to any questions you may have – a good change from some of the impersonal news we are receiving.


We hope you can make it out to show some support and looking forward to seeing you soon!

With the help of photographer Kaz Senju and curator Lisa Gonzalez, Red Dot Relief was formed.
