Fwd: Asian Cinema Studies CFP

[Aaron Gerow]

KineJapanners,

The Asian Cinema Studies Society will be having its biennial conference 
in Jeonju, South Korea, on April 27-29, 2002. Because of the location of 
the conference, the ACSS has been having a hard time getting paper 
proposals (US and European members, who are in the majority in ACSS, are 
not making the trip). That is why, even though the deadline for proposals 
has passed, they are still willing to consider proposals if they are sent 
promptly. I will be giving a paper, so I was hoping some KineJapan 
members in Japan, Korea, or elsewhere in East Asia would be interested in 
joining the conference.  As the CFP below says, the conference will be 
taking place alongside the Jeonju Film Festival (which is holding a 
symposium on war and cinema on the 29th, where I will also speak). This 
is Golden Week in Japan, so many of you in Japan should be on vacation.

Those interested should contact John Lent about paper proposals and 
Daiwon Hyun (edhyun at yahoo.com) about conference details and arrangements.
