Old Projects for New

Work has been going ahead for the shooting script of the Fairground Booth and the other two documentary films associated with the project. Here in Moscow its been an interesting few days creatively.  After attending an exhibition of Japanese micropop art in Moscow it made me look at a film project on which I was engaged  before the completion of “Stanislavsky and the Russian Theatre”  I set the project aside despite the first part of the two film project being completed and much of the 2nd film also in an advanced state of post production. The two films were about Japanese art and culture and somehow they didn’t feel complete so I decided to put them on one side. As it turns out this incompleteness may turn out to be a positive aspect and to the advantage of the project as a whole. The two films were the outcome of  two 3 month journeys to Japan especially for filming at locations all over Japan. The project is in a process of re evaluation and to some extent reinterpretation and redefining. More later on this subject as I work out which is the best media for introducing this project.
