>>The 1960s and early 1970s were a turbulent period in Japanese film 
>>history. After a period of continuing growth and what often is called the 
>>Second Golden Age of Japanese Cinema the 1960s say a drastic drop in 
>>attendance figures, the decline of the studio system and the emergence of 
>>new forces: the rise of experimental film and sexploitation, the advent of 
>>the student and amateur film scene, new modes in documentary film and a 
>>diversified and innovative independent cinema. The boundaries were 
>>permeable, allowing filmmakers to move from one field to another, and 
>>interactions between different fields became quite common. The institution 
>>that not only reflects the changes in Japanese cinema of this period best, 
>>but that was an important motor behind these changes was the Art Theatre 
>>Guild. Founded in 1961 as independent distributor of foreign art-house 
>>films, in 1967 it began to produce its own films and remained for two 
>>decades one of the most creative and innovative institutions within 
>>Japanese cinema. The articles explore the environment that enabled these 
>>developments which had a lasting impact on Japanese cinema up until today.
>>
>>The MINIKOMI issue complements the bilingual (German/English) catalogue 
>>about the Art Theatre Guild which I edited for the Viennale in 2003. The 
>>174 pages catalogue can be ordered through the Viennale:
