SCMS ---> Kinema Club

[Alexander Jacoby]

I could definitely be persuaded to give my paper on Yoshimura, Kyoto, and women at an alternative venue, so my answer is a), as long as my fellow panellists are of the same opinion (they are on KineJapan, so will no doubt respond in good time). Our panel was G3 on Friday 22nd. It would be easiest for me to stick to one of the prearranged dates of 21st to 24th.

Things are looking up!

Is SurveyMonkey the way to go?

I'm now looking at the survey creation screen, what do you think the rubric should be?

Here's what I was thinking so far:

1. Would you like to give a paper at Kinema Club XI? [is it 11 we're up to?]
a. Yes, definitely. I promise not to try and sue anyone if it all goes wrong.
b. Yes, but only if the venue fulfils certain requirements
c. No, but I'd like to come and watch

[seeing as there are hundreds of people on KineJapan, and we only have 100 replies with a free SurveyMonkey account, rather than having a "d. no I can't make it at all" option, people could only complete the survey if they're answering in the affirmative, and if they're not coming just ignore it?]

2. If answer to above was b, please write your requirements in the box below

3. Please write the number and title of your former SCMS panel below, eg "B3 Alternative Cinema in Japan"

4. Title of your paper

5. Language you'll be presenting in

6. Name

7. What are your available dates? [We know you have nothing planned for May 21-24, but outwith that...]



What do people think? [especially people with experience of this kind of thing] Anything I should add or change? I think we can have up to 10 questions. I could put it online at midnight JST.

If we didn't think there was enough time to pull this off, then we could centralize it. Between panels everyone meets at, say, the south entrance plaza to Shinjuku Station. People find their huddles, and then peel off to a coffee shop or ramen shop to do it. Needless to say, this makes spectating problematic.
