Best Japanese Documentary award at Pitt

Join the University of Pittsburgh for its inaugural Best Japanese Documentary award ceremony, established by Pitt's Japan Council and co-sponsored by Silk Screen Asian American Film Festival. The winner is Sennan Asbestos Disaster by Kazuo Hara, which follows the asbestos industry in Japan and the government's apathy and deflection regarding the danger in producing this material and the people affected by it. The award ceremony is followed by a screening. (Be warned: the film clocks in around four hours.) RSVP required.
