> This is a fuller announcement of the recent issue of Screening the Past
> on Asian Cinema.  I'm sending it along because it also has a list of book
> reviews (some of which are Japan-related) and because it includes a note
> about financial support.  Since Screening the Past has shown a commitment
> to Asian and Japanese cinema (I am on the editorial board), I do
> recommend support for this non-profit scholarly journal.  (I, by the way,
> receive no money for my work for them.)
