Shusuke Kaneko has just
returned from New York and Montreal where his films
Death Note and Death Note: The Last Name
screened. The New York shows, which ran between July
6 and July 8 2007, were sponsored by Japan Society.
Mr. Kaneko introduced each film and following
screenings fielded questions from the audience.
The Montreal shows were part of Fantasia Film
Festival and marked Mr. Kaneko's third visit to the
city and the festival. As in New York, the double
feature played to sell-out crowds with Mr. Kaneko
introducing the films and later answering questions
poised by the audience.
