Thanks for the reply, I think that its great that there is a foreign film society down in the bannau. You said that your favourite films are japanese, I've only seen 7 Samourai, Stray Dog by Kurosawa, Tokyo Story (ozu), Tampopo (Itami) and a scene at the sea by Kitano. My favourite films are mostly russian either the early silents from eisenstein or the visually amazing films by tarkovsky and paradjanov. Have you ever seen any welsh films, and if so which are your favourites? My mother is from Paris, but the rest of the family is from the north not far away from calais. Have you seen any of the films from Iran that are suddenly very popular these days? because Theatre Gwynedd will be showing some this season. Which ones would you recomend?
