Name: Jordan Winter<br><br>
Institutional affiliation or job: Sheffield Hallam Univeristy Third Year Student<br><br>
City and country: Sheffield, UK<br><br>
Research projects or publications: I am currently writing my Dissertation on culture and society within the films of Akira Kurosawa (I am providing deep critical analysis of 'Stray Dog', 'Scandal' and 'Drunken Angel') during the Allied Occupation of Japan.I actually found KineJapan through Dr Sorensen's book 'Censorship of Japanese Films during the US Occupation of Japan' which he notes is bustling with "five hundred scholars and film buffs."<br>
<br>
Interests with regard to Japanese film and moving image media: Aside from Kurosawa, Ozu and the the contemporary horror/thriller films to hit the Western side of the world, I must admit I am a little narrowminded when it comes to Japanese cinema, however like many I am always happy to try something new<br>
