Film Collection: Beyond The Films

I'm a collector by nature, so my enjoyment of films has led to healthy film collection. My film collection however is not just composed of the films themselves. When an individual film or director makes a strong impression upon, there is a good chance I'll seek out things to add to my collection that go beyond the films themselves. This could include, but is not limited to, things like posters, books, programs, stamps.... whatever. From time to time i'll share some details and photos of the things that have made their way into my collection.

My favorite director is Yasujiro Ozu, so I'm always looking for new Ozu items to add to my collection. I'm sure there are people with much larger collections of Ozu items, but I'm pretty proud of what I've managed to acquire. Here is a program from an exhibition they had at The Kamakura Museum Of Literature in 2003. Some information about the exhibition as well as this program can be found here. I'm glad i picked it up when i did, since it was reasonably priced, and i haven't seen one up for sale since. As you can imagine i get pretty excited when i find a new Ozu thing to add to the collection!
