[KineJapan] Japan Academy of Moving Images Oath

[Patrick Crogan]

Markus,
by 'legacy' do you mean an attempt by the state who are now funding JIMI to ensure the new officially recognised institute does not inherit the legacy of its former life as an independent and culturally engaged film school?

Forgive my ignorance here- can you explain your reference to the Imamura Shohei days?

Turns out Sato Tadao's Japan Academy of Moving Images requires all new hires to sign an oath renouncing politics and keeping pedagogy apolitical. No one knew until someone refused to sign, and this gave up his offer. Could this be a legacy of the Imamura Shohei days?
