I mainly talk about movies. Doctor by day but I tweet purely in a personal capacity.

Another superb announcement from @thirdwindow who have almost single handedly been shining a light on this forgotten era of Japanese cinema. Bring us even more! https://t.co/MAr9B26Qoa

[Calvin @calvinm]

@thirdwindow Coming back to this a few years down the line but I see that they've all had 2K or 4K restorations since, just as a head's up https://t.co/kjC7aX1hCM

[Calvin @calvinm]

@thirdwindow Any chance of you releasing any Kohei Oguri films? I've just been watching Taste of Tea which strikes me as being heavily influenced by his work. I'd love Muddy River, The Buried Forest and Sleeping Man in particular.

[Calvin @calvinm]

@thirdwindow @darkofsky Hopefully God Speed You will happen one day but this is fantastic news, I've been hoping that Yanagimachi's films would get a release.

[Calvin @calvinm]

Anyone pissed at Nolan's Odyssey realises they can just watch Piavoli's Nostos: The Return right??

[Calvin @calvinm]

@thisismehaunted @BARDIBILLIVIA @lucysmidnights The record is 21 consecutive nights by Prince in 2007

[Calvin @calvinm]

@realJackEason It's listed as being 1 hour 54 mins - that's definitely longer than the UK theatrical version out on DVD from the BFI and would tally with the bootleg I have with the infamous RoC scene which runs at 113mins39secs

Incredible news that @SecondRunDVD will be releasing a new restoration of Mohsen Makhmalbaf's A Moment of Innocence, one of the great masterworks of Iranian cinema.

[Calvin @calvinm]

@realJackEason I think it's just the deal Neon has; No Bears was a Contemporaries release so it's not like Panahi has got the treatment previously

[Dave Kehr @dave_kehr]

@DannyDrinksWine You are confusing preservation with distribution, which is an entirely different, and concerning, issue. I don't know any archives that would consider DVDs as preservation elements, and I don't know any archivists who wouldn't want their work more widely seen.

[Calvin @calvinm]

@BilgeEbiri @abouttheshuffle The BBC version is available to view at the BFI Mediatheque in London if you're ever in that part of the world

[Calvin @calvinm]

@thirdwindow Yeah, that was one of my points - that his earlier film March Comes in Like a Lion, which has been restored, would be more feasible here. Not sure if you like that one?

[Calvin @calvinm]

Not entirely sure why this seems to have gone viral but would love to see this film. However, think the energy of 16k likes might be better channeled into suggesting Yazaki's shorter, more easily releasable films like March Comes in Like a Lion, which also has a restoration

[♡ @taesdawn26]

this film has not been released in any format. the only way to see it is by catching a screening in japan, making it one of the rarest films of all time.

[Calvin @calvinm]

Quite surprised that Panahi hasn't been granted a UK visa when he even got entry into the US. @BAFTA or @BFI should be doing something to support this

[Matt Neglia @Tribeca @NextBestPicture]

Some additional context for two of NEON’s films:

MUBI hasn’t opened THE SECRET AGENT in the UK yet

MUBI didn’t get a UK visa for Panahi to visit. It’s the only territory he hasn’t really been to. He went to Asia, Africa, almost all of Europe, Latin America and US/Canada/Mexico.

[Mattie, the Woman Clothed by the Sun @cinemattie]

Béla Tarr was a giant who crafted images so mythical it's difficult to put his achievements into words. An epochal talent.

[Calvin @calvinm]

Hopefully this bodes well for THE LOVERS and LOVE IN THE TIME OF TWILIGHT, the other great Tsui Hark Golden Harvest films
