Time Frames explores how Japanese film criticism and history has been  
written before and after Rashomon. Scott Nygren looks at the  
emergence of video art and anime, highlighting the creative exchange  
among North American, European, and Asian media. He places Japanese  
film at the center of this discourse, and, ultimately, reveals its  
global role as a cultural medium.

“Time Frames shows how ever since Rashomon’s stunning appearance in  
Venice, Japan’s postwar dance with its Western partners has defined,  
invigorated, and questioned its own culture and that of the West  
along the way.” —Dudley Andrew
