SCMS Line-up

[drainer at mpinet.net]

I was going to suggest a business hotel, but then I checked Markus' link and 
it has better details: 
http://web.mac.com/leslielemond/SCMS@50-Tokyo/Accommodations.html

If you're staying for 2 weeks I suggest you get a business apartment (look 
up monthly chintai), as it will be cheaper.

This looks like a massive conference, many kinejapan members in the panels; 
I had no idea Josai hosted it.

If I may ask:

I am one of probably many SCMS members and a Kinejapaner who has never 
visited Japan.

I would welcome recommendations from people about hotels near the conference 
and also the best way to find information on some kind of sightseeing 
guides.  I plan to stay several extra days before or after the conference.

thanks.
Matthew

  I don't recall anyone noting this, so I will. SCMS announced their line-up 
for the Tokyo conference. I take this visit to Tokyo has an 
honest-to-goodness attempt to "provincialize SCMS". Judging from the panels 
I see here, they seem to have done just that. I don't recall any conference 
anywhere with so many fascinating panels on Asia. I'm very much looking 
forward to this.


  One other thing that surprised me was the number of panels on film 
festivals, something dear to my heart.


  In any case, many tough decisions will have to be made this spring.
