GUIDE TO NEW PUBLICATIONS -Japanese Silent Cinema Database-

[Yoko Midoro]

Dear Sir or Madam,



I am writing you today to introduce a fantastic multimedia library of
Japanese silent film.  Masterpieces of Silent Japanese Cinema is the
definitive source of information on the early days of Japanese cinema and is
a treasure house of information for anyone involved in researching,
reviewing and collecting Japanese silent film.



Compiled on one state-of-the-art bilingual DVD-ROM disk are extensive
details on the more than 12,000 Japanese silent films known to have been
created, 2-3 minute video clips from 45 significant silent films (all with
recorded benshi narration), story, synopses, commentaries, still photos and
leaflet images from more than 1,000 films, 560 profiles of important
directors, actors, benshi narrators and others who contributed to the Golden
Age of silent cinema and interviews with people involved in the silent film
world.



Since its release in the summer of 2000 this product has sold widely to
universities, film archives, researchers and film students, as well as many
fans of silent cinema.



Available for US?200.00, this informative multimedia library was developed
and is sold by Urban Connections.  In addition to many positive media
reviews, Masterpieces of Silent Japanese Film has been recognized by the
Information Technology Promotion Agency of Japan as an outstanding product
and is recommended by the Japan School Library Association as a significant
contribution to any library or archive. Similarly, Masterpieces of Silent
Japanese Film would be a worthwhile database contribution to any museum or
film collection.



More information and details regarding the system requirements for the
Windows DVD-ROM are available on our website at www.infoasia.co.jp. For
institutions with retail sites such as museum shops and outlets we offer
resale and distribution agreements as well. Please direct any inquiries or
orders to books at infoasia.co.jp.
