I'd venture that it's one that should NOT be answered off-list, or off-world, ...especially if we want KineJapan to be a place where conversations about J-film and J-film resources are shared.</div><div><br></div><div>I always read the lists (<i>NY Times</i> or elsewhere) of what's to-be-seen on Netflix this month, and wonder whether we couldn't have a longer-term shared doc (google or another) where we list which films are available on which streaming sources, of course, indicating any costs/ differing availability per locale. If you're interested, please respond here or drop me a line. Of course, this hearkens back to the very beginning needs that helped inaugurate KineJapan.</div><div><br></div><div>But, more specific to Katherine's need at this moment, let me mention a couple things here off the top of my head:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Markus makes the great suggestions of Kanopy and Alexander St. Still, many small colleges and universities can't afford Kanopy and Alexander Street, so, if not for Katherine alone, I wonder what other resources we can think up. I also hope Katherine might share with us the individual replies she's received, if any. Since my local UC Riverside has subscriptions to Kanopy and Alexander Street, I expect UC Berkeley does too. But on such services (and especially on Netflix), titles can cycle on and then off. A crowd-authored, and crowd-updated, .docx of the kind I'm suggesting might be good for instructors at places with smaller budgets or outside the US. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-webkit-standard;font-size:medium"></span></div><div><br></div><div>2) If you are comfortable requiring students buy a textbook, why not ask your US students to subscribe to The Criterion Channel, which really has a lot of great Jpn films. The trial subscriptions are free for the first 14 days, and regular subscriptions can be purchased on a month-to-month basis. You could bunch the Criterion Channel film screenings fairly close to each other on the syllabus, so students can sign up for the free trial and then sign off... and get in three or four films in the trial period. The monthly cost is around 14 USD.</div><div><br></div><div>3) If you're looking for something more recent, there are many places that stream free, if only for a short period. One of them is Japanese Film Festival. They have a collaboration with MOOSIC LAB, which helps produce music-oriented films, especially by young, independent women directors. You can stream many films there for free right now. [Full Disclosure: I co-subtitled (with subtitle partner Ayumi Kageyama) one of the films available there now, Kamimura Naho's <i>Wander Life.</i>]<font color="#000000" face="-webkit-standard" size="3"> </font>Here's the website: </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.japanesefilmfest.org/streaming/">https://www.japanesefilmfest.org/streaming/</a> </div><div><br></div><div>I'll think of some more and send what I can to this list in a future post. But, if you have thoughts/reactions/or interest in a crowd-authored doc, please don't hesitate to respond on-list or, if you must, off-!</div><div><br></div><div>With best wishes to all,</div><div>Jonathan M.

(In other words, they don't have the rights to stream what they do and none of their revenue goes back to the original creators / localizers / translators / etc.) As film fans and scholars, I'm sure that many of us have accessed perhaps-not-quite-legal ways of getting what we needed to have in times of need, but I wouldn't feel right directing any students to a site like that.<div><br clear="none"></div><div>== Brian </div></div><br clear="none"><div><div id="gmail-m_6364306457781058011m_-9038332752763839115ydp27f5e247yiv9150383748yqt42624"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 3:24 AM Katherine Mezur via KineJapan <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div><div dir="ltr">Dear All,</div><div dir="ltr">I hope you are all well as can be in our current stay-home restrictions. Sorry if this is an old question. I am teaching all my classes on line as many of you probably are doing now as well. I am looking for your recommendations for Japanese, Korean, PRC, Hong Kong or Taiwanese animation online streaming sources. I know gogoanime, which is good for series but spotty streaming. I also would like to know what source you use for performing arts (contemporary and traditional) and best source for Japanese docs and films (with subtitles as I teach those who most often are bilingual Spanish/English and many Mandarin/English speaking). Please just contact me individually so we don't fill up the text-waves.
