Society for Cinema Studies

[Aaron Gerow]

The Society for Cinema Studies conference will be taking place this year 
in Chicago from March 9 to 12 at the Congress Plaza Hotel.  There will be 
literally hundreds of papers, but looking at the conference schedule, 
here are some that are definitely on Japanese cinema/moving image media.  
There are probably others as well, so if you know of some, please tell 
the list.

Obviously the focus will be the panel Michael put together, so I hope 
list members and others can come to hear us then.

I personally will be in Chicago (staying at the Congress Plaza) from the 
9th to the 13th, so I look forward to meeting or talking to list members 
at the conference or others in the vicinity.
