Japanese films in Taiwan

[Graeme Lennon]

Hello Mark,

I'm a KineJapan lurker, and I was curious about the Chinese cinema list you
mention. Is it a public listserv that I could join, or an academic
by-invitation-only list? I would quite like to sign up for a list discussing
Chinese cinema at the same level as KineJapan covers the Japanese side of
things.

Thanks for your time!
