Thanks to everyone who came to our pair of Nobuhiro Aihara shows last night – we had an amazing time, and it seemed like everyone else did too. It was the culmination of a bunch of work – this was a Lightstruck show we put more time and work into than any other thus far, and was really meaningful for us! One of the projects we worked on for this show was a 24-page zine containing a previously untranslated interview with Aihara and a complete filmography. We are immensely thankful to filmmaker Tetsuya Maruyama for doing the translation work, and Hirofumi Sakamoto for supplying the original Japanese interview as well as compiling and caring for Aihara’s filmography through Postwar Japan Moving Image Archive.
We still have copies of the Aihara zine left, so please get in touch if you’d like one! We’re selling them at cost ($5) plus shipping.
