<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">We are pleased to announce the 11<sup>th</sup> Kinema Club to take place in Vienna from November 25 (Fr.) to 27 (Su.). The conference in Vienna is dedicated to the
topic “Japanese cinema spaces and film environments” and will focus on the exhibition side of film in Japan. The conference will be hosted by the Institute of East Asian Studies at the AAKH-Campus of Vienna University, a stone’s throw away from Vienna’s city
center. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">In recent years a significant strand of research in cinema studies has been devoted to understanding cinema experience in terms of the logic of exhibition practices.
Yet, many film historians take their subject still very literally: they primarily write histories of films, but not histories of cinemas. This is particularly true in the case of Japan. Significant works have been published in the past decades that have helped
expand the knowledge about Japanese film history outside of Japan. We know a lot about certain filmmakers and their films, about specific genres, the studios and the movies of a specific period, yet very little is known about where and how these films have
been shown and who was watching them. We know little about the cinemas in Japan. The aim of this conference is to take a closer look at the movie theatres in Japan and to shed light on the Japanese exhibition market.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">The conference will be organized by the Institute of East Asian Studies of Vienna University and the Austrian Japan-Society for Science and Arts in cooperation with
Kinema Club. Kinema Club is an informal community of scholars, artists, and fans interested in Japanese moving image media established in the early 1990s. One of its most important activities are the workshops and conferences that have been held since 1999.
So far ten Kinema Club conferences have been organized: Michigan (1999), Hawai’i (2003), NYU (2004), McGill (2004), Tokyo (2005), NYU (2005), Yale (2006), Frankfurt (2007), Harvard (2009) and Hawai’i (2010). KC-XI will be the second Kinema Club conference
held in Europe. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
