<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;" lang="EN-US">No other region is expected to have a
more profound impact on the future global system and society than East Asia,
and accordingly, understanding the culture and arts of the countries in this
region is becoming increasingly vital to the work of academics. Japanese cinema,
in particular, has recently experienced a resurgence of interest within and
beyond academic confines. In the UK, recent major retrospectives of directors
such as Nagisa Oshima, Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa organized by the British
Film Institute, among many other events across the country, have contributed to
an increased awareness of this burgeoning subject area. The number of Hollywood
remakes of Japanese texts and films and the recent trend of Western directors
travelling to Tokyo to shoot their films are also indicative of an interest
which cuts across theory and practice<b>. </b>It seems particularly timely to
discuss the ways in which we can address Japanese cinema and its relevance to
world cinema, film studies and other disciplines.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

inter-institutional project organized by postgraduate students at the
universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York through the Mixed Cinema Network project
(www.mixedcinemanetwork.org) and beyond. Our aim is to propose alternative
approaches to Japanese cinema, moving beyond East-West binary oppositions, thus
encouraging the exploration of new and exciting critical avenues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
