Joe here, reporting from Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival. The festival is shaping up nicely, with an amazing surprise coming today in the form of a Benshi performance. This little known (or overlooked, if you want to call it that) Japanese tradition is alive and well in Mexico City, where Benshi is undergoing a revival. Look for it in a town near you. I must sleep in order to prepare for the panel discussions in the morning. Look for more updates tomorrow evening.
