<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; ">Hey, all. My name is Jason Krigsfeld. I'm a senior at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, studying East Asian Studies and Sociology, concentrating in Japanese Cinema. I'm originally from Russia but now live in New York City. I've worked at Japan Society of New York in the film department for their annual Japan Cuts (with Kinema Club member Caldwell Lever who introduced me to this website and list serv), and currently working as an intern at the YIDFF offices in Tokyo. I'm also currently working on my thesis on Yakuza Film, and I am trying to start my own Japanese film festival at Wesleyan University this spring. I hope to work on Japanese film festivals throughout my life, and one day, become a professor of Japanese film and history myself. I'm excited to read the fascinating topics of discussion on his listserv and hope you all can help me with my requests from time to time. Thanks so much!<br>
