Another blog from the airport on the way to a film festival, this time to attend the Nachtschatten Film Festival (STORY) where the Munich Premier of "Boys for Sale" (WEBSITE) will take place. I am so grateful to have been a member of the team that made this documentary and for the amazing reception it has received across the world (AWARDS).
A few days ago "Boys for Sale" also had the honour of being featured in the International Documentary Association's list of 5 documentaries to watch for Pride Month (LINK)!
Meanwhile, I am extremely honored that "Orbiting in the Field: a Taidan (conversation) on Ecology and Filmmaking in Tohoku, Japan" (READ) was published in Duke University Press's Positions Asia Critique. This was four years in the making (!) and came to fruition through the hard work of my taidan partner Professor of Biology and renowned Chernobyl/ Fukushima researcher Timothy Mousseau and guest editors/ conference organizers Lisa Onaga & Harry Wu. More about that conference in Singapore from four years ago is on my blog (HERE).

And my mail box held one other surprise with this week- a producer's gift from Shawn Lee Small, director of the award-winning documentary "Acres of Diamonds". I am truly honoured to have been able to serve on the team of this amazing film as well (STORY).
Coming up on July 6, "Boys for Sale" will screen in Tokyo at
Sophia University (INFO), and despite this Japanese film screening all
over the world, this will be only the second time the film has screened
in Japan; the first was last year's sold-out screening in Tokyo AIDS
Week (STORY).
Thank you all so very much for support and encouragement over these many years.
Peace and gratitude,
Ian
Tokyo, Japan
