Rohan,

Seems there's an archive function according to KineJapan FAQ: http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu/Markus/
(Discussion held from August 2009 .. around 40 messages if i'm correct)

@Jan-Cristoph 

Thanks for the recommendation, going to try and get my hands on a copy of the DVD. Looks like ill have to have it shipped from Japan. 

@Martin 

That sounds like a discussion I missed out on.. May I ask how to gain access to it if there is a mail-archive? 

Thanks

Don't know if there's mail-archive on KineJapan, but a similar (and interesting) discussion was held last summer, and led to some interesting titles & remarks. 

Here's the original post ('representations of blacknesS, Japanese & Korean Cinema')

Hi everyone, 

I am currently writing a disseration on the representation of the black other in Japanese film. I have seen World Apartment Horror (1991) so far, and was wondering if anyone can recommend any other films with roles played by black actors or actressess no matter how small the appearance might be. 

Thanks,
