This rare footage has popped up on youtube. From an unreleased Japanese documentary visiting the studios used for The Shining. Starts getting interesting when meeting up with Kubrick's daughter Vivian (who did her own documentary), and seeing how the kitchen in the film was actually the room used for Kubrick's equipment. The documentary director, Jun'ichi Yaoi, was actually there to do a report on possible paranormal aspects related to the production.

Background : Towards the end of post-production on The Shining Jun'ichi Yaoi visited Stanley Kubrick's offices at EMI Elstree Studios to investigate reports of paranormal activity on the set there were several accidents and a major fire during production which were prominently reported by the media at the time. This raw footage was likely shot for an unreleased/unaired Japanese paranormal TV documentary - Jun'ichi Yaoi ( 矢追 純一 ) b.1935 is a director/producer, TV personality and writer well known in Japan for his explorations of the paranormal, he worked for Nippon Television Network in the '60s, '70s and '80s producing many shows for them on the topic. He is widely credited with popularising UFOs in Japan. The unedited footage came from original production master VHS tapes in the personal collection of famed ufologist Wendelle C. Stevens, who was apparently involved in this production. (The footage was originally shot to Sony KCS20 U-matic Cartridges and then mastered to VHS) The video opens with the journey from London to EMI Elstree Studios, including arrival at studio reception.
