Tanaka-san will not do callisthenics


12 October 2009 15:10

Tanaka-san Will Not Do Callisthenics is showing at the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in the New Docs Japan section:
"Presenting ten films that penetrate Japanese society from multiple perspectives, by accomplished directors including those who reside abroad, and those who originate from abroad. The gazes and expressions of filmmakers who continue tackling documentary film—that experiment in memory of the past—resonate in the land of Yamagata."
The theatre was full ... mainly Japanese who loved the film.

Tanaka-san and his wife Kaoru-san were there too so we all experienced the film together for the first time in Japan! Hard to beat! After the showing there was thunderous applause and Tanaka-san sang outside for an admiring crowd.
