Today marked the end of the six-week theatrical release of 'A2-B-C' in Tokyo. After the original three-week run was extended (INFO), I couldn't have imagined a greater honour...
But not only was today's screening sold out, it was oversold! When there were no more folding chairs to set up in the back of the cinema, the staff handed out cushions so that people could sit on the stairs and in the aisles (PHOTO below).
本日は東京：ポレポレ東中野での「A2-B-C」上映最終日でした。なんと満席、更には補助椅子や、通路にクッションで座っていただいて、ご覧いただきました。
そして、現在シネマトゥデイアクセスランキング、「A2-B-C」が1位です！
本当に、皆様、ありがとうございます。
Dr. Matsui Eisuke, whom I had first met at a medical conference in Germany in March (INFO) joined the post-screening discussion to help contextualize for the audience some of the medical issues brought up in the film.
6/20最終日10：30の回上映後トークイベントに、岐阜環境医学研究所・座禅洞所長 松井英介さんの登壇も決定！著書「放射線被ばくから 子どもたちを守る」も出されている松井先生に、イアン監督とトークしていただきます！
After the screening, I was delighted to see some familiar faces in the audience, among them friend, digital media producer, artist, and 'otaku'-extraordinaire, Joseph Tame (website HERE, PHOTO below) whom I had first met several years ago when he filmed an event where I was screening my first film, "the ballad of vicki and jake" (WEBSITE), here in Tokyo.
First two stops: Nagoya and Hiroshima (INFO below). Then on to Osaka, Kyoto and beyond!
