To mark the hair-raising occasion I uploaded the Imabikisou making-of feature included the 2007 promotional Blu-Ray disc "Imabikisou: Seitan-hen". Notably, it includes segments where Haruhiko Shono is interviewed. Apologies for not finding the time to include proper captions⬇️
For the better part of the year, I have corresponded with SoftEdge studio founder and director Koichi Mori. As if that rare privilege wasn't enough, I was rewarded this week with one from a handful of existing copies of his self-published CD-ROM, TRIPITAKA 玄奘三蔵求法の旅. (1/3)
May 1995: the laserdisc for 'Gadget Trips - Mindscapes' was released in Japan, a 1h19m long feature composed exclusively of computer-generated graphics; making it the first full-length 3D CGI film in history - not Pixar's 'Toy Story', as the internet would have you believe.

This is such a fantastic piece by @francesca-b.bsky.social on the femicide of French sociologist Hélène Rytmann-Legotien by her husband, the famous Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser. It shows importance of - history as "his story" - himpathy (Manne) - antifeminism in (orthodox) Marxist circles
