KINEMA CLUB VII
Regimen, Revival and Recent Japanese Cinema

March 24-26, 2006, at Yale University

Special guests: Kurosawa Kiyoshi (film director) and Nakamura Hidetoshi 
(film scholar)

Sponsored by the Council on East Asian Studies and the Film Studies 
Program at Yale University
With assistance from the Japan Foundation

The seventh edition of the Kinema Club conference in Japanese film and 
moving image studies will be held at Yale University from March 24 to 
26, 2006. This session will be subtitled “Regimen, Revival and Recent 
Japanese Cinema” and will focus on recent trends in Japanese cinema, 
especially as they relate to government film policy and film education. 
The main guests will be Kurosawa Kiyoshi, film director and professor 
at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, and Nakamura 
Hideyuki, professor at Rikkyo University. We will screen Kurosawa’s 
most recent horror film LOFT, and hold several discussions with the 
director. In a pre-event for the conference we will show another 
Kurosawa film, Serpent’s Path on March 23, and hold two workshops with 
the director. As a “post-event” on March 28 the Okinawan director 
Takamine Go will be presenting his film Untamagiru.

There is no registration fee for the conference and the film screenings 
and workshops are open to the public without pre-registration. Those 
who want to attend the Saturday and Sunday panels, however, are asked 
to pre-register by e-mail to jeffrey.levick at yale.edu by March 21, 2006.
