(1932), produced in Berlin in late 1931. Previous research on this film
details several of the critical events that led to its creation;
however, until now, extensive examination has yet to detail the journey
of the film across Europe after it was shown in Berlin in May 1932. By
examining how <em>Nippon</em> was produced and distributed, we can
better understand the complex film industry and distribution mechanisms
at work during the peak period of the Great Depression. Between 1932 and
1934, <em>Nippon</em> was shown in specific European cities, with the most extensive screening in France. Since much of the research on <em>Nippon</em>
has focussed on its release in Berlin, numerous fascinating elements
concerning the December film release in Paris have been overlooked.
Along with a performance by an acclaimed Japanese dancer, the Paris
premiere was attended by the Japanese ambassador to France and several
high-profile figures. The gala and subsequent film screening also
received numerous reviews, highlighting an evident preference of the
French for Japonisme.</p></div></div></blockquote></div><div id="ydp58071eb1yiv7867239024yqtfd48053" class="ydp58071eb1yiv7867239024yqt1701074875">
