BACHECA
Winter as arrived here in the Northern hemisphere. After a visit to Japan last month, attending the Yamagata festival and doing a workshop and some screenings in Tokyo, I went to an island off Sendai, where the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 had done much damage. Shot a film which looks to be good, about 70 minutes or so. Then back to Seoul for a little mountain of other self-chosen work - photography things, editing, organizing and preparing to leave Korea come this coming March. Meantime a film or several, to shoot with choreographer Ahn Eun me.December 23-29 I'll be doing a workshop at the Tokyo Film School, then returned to Seoul for 2 months of solid work. Return to Tokyo in early March to give a talk at the end of an 11 film partial retrospective screening at the Athenee Francais, which seems to serve as the Japanese Cinematheque. Then to America with the following schedule:
March 18 - Film Forum, LA, film TBA, and in same time USC classroom presentation
March 22 (date to be set) Cinematheque, San Francisco,
March 25 (date to be set) Cinema Project, Portland Or. TBA
March 28, I-screen, Vanderbilt Univ., Nashville Tenn; film screening and workshop

Dates yet to be set at Univ Minnesota, St Cloud, Minneapolis Film Festival, Ross Cinema, Univ of Nebraska.
Watch here for updates.Meantime as the tentative plan to stay in Tokyo for year from Oct 2012 has fallen through, I'll be staying in USA, shooting a new fiction in late summer, and commencing with shooting new essay film on America, a companion piece for Speaking Directly (1973) and Plain Talk & Common Sense (1987). Tentative title is "Democracy in America?" I will attempt to raise modest funding for these two projects by Kickstarter. Your help will be much appreciated.
