I've been thinking a lot about this since
Junk Story, and now with the release of
Hurry Go Round, it's more critical than ever.
Years ago, there was actually a project to have Junk Story screened globally with subs:
https://www.makuake.com/en/project/junkstory/I'm not sure how successful it was, but one of my friends did see this in NYC, I believe. I've tried to get in touch with the theater that screened it, to get contact info for whomever subbed it, hoping to maybe get my hands on it, but no luck so far. Anyway...
Could we try to coordinate an effort to get these documentaries subtitled? Since the official channels are letting us down (the production company seems to have no interest in making these translated and accessible to viewers worldwide), perhaps we should consider the fan-subbing route?
With so many anime and tv shows and whatnot being fan-subbed, it's inconceivable to me that there isn't someone, somewhere out there who could accomplish this!
Maybe we could even put together a crowdfunding type of initiative?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
