The Berlin International Film Festival has now put all of its programme materials online, but I thought I'd reproduce UniJapan's convenient press release, which lists all the Japanese films and events (EFM badge required) in one place. Please see below. Also see my January 13th entry regarding the Shimazu Yasujirô films being shown. Overall it's quite an impressive lineup, and great to see Wakamatsu back in competition with Caterpillar.On a personal note, it's great to see there's a tribute Erika and Ulrich Gregor, who are absolute legends in the film festival world. The stories they have about some of cinemas greatest names are endless. They're also very good friends of TOKYO FILMeX, happily making the journey over here every year. And break a leg, Sabu!

Have you heard anything about Kanikosen being distributed in the US?
No, unfortunately. I thought it might pick up at least a US video distributor after its NYFF/Chicago/AFI run there. I'll be getting an update after Berlin wraps.
