<i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Lora;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">Perspectives on Nuclear Disasters<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;mso-ligatures:none">In the ongoing aftermath of the nuclear accident in 2011, filmmakers have continued to issue warnings about the state of Japanese society
and politics, which remain mired in refusal to change. Nearly a decade in the making, Japanese Filmmakers in the Wake of Fukushima is based on in-person interviews with countless filmmakers, as well as continuous dialogue with them and their work. Author Wada-Marciano
has expanded these dialogues to include students, audiences at screenings, critics, and researchers, and her observations are based on down-to-earth-exchange of ideas engaged in over a long period of time.<br>
<br>
Filmmakers and artists are in the vanguard of those who grapple with what should be done regarding the struggle against fear of the invisible blight—radiation exposure. Rather than blindly following the mass media and public opinion, they have chosen to think
and act independently. While repeatedly viewing and reviewing the film works from the post-Fukushima period, Wada-Marciano felt the unwavering message that emanates from them: “There must be no more nuclear weapons.” “There must be no more nuclear power generation.”
The book is dedicated to convincing readers of the clarity of their message.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">"Wada-Marciano’s passion makes for compelling reading— detailing Japan’s antinuclear cinema, she joins its refusal of the one-party democratic state’s culture of enforced forgetting and simultaneously
challenges privileging the arty and obscure in Japanese Film Studies."<br>
. Professor Chris Berry, Dept. of Film Studies, King’s College London<br>
<br>
"Wada-Marciano’s insightful on-the-ground interviews and astute analysis of cinematic content and techniques —in front of and behind the camera— introduce hard-to-find postdisaster films and argue persuasively for the urgency of the anti-nuclear as a theme
in Japanese documentary film."<br>
