Subject: [KineJapan] Films sponsoring TV shows
Message-ID: <CA+cxVbECv0Xy_4_TGM2RFBzqO6B48+UnhedWVccjUAGMT5JJSA@mail.gmail.com>

I noticed a film (Eien no zero) that has nothing to do with the drama
listed as a sponsor on a show called S - Saigo no Keikan. I've seen
"episode 0" or "prequel" type tv dramas being sponsored by the films they
are prequels of, but not something like this. I'm sure the station is
involved in the producing of the film, but I wonder if anyone else have
noticed other tv shows where this happens.

Eien no zero is a film based on a novel about zero sen pilots, but S -
saigo no keikan is a cop show based on a novel about a special police
squad. they are both based on novels by different authors.

I haven't seen the show yet, but from reading the synopses of the episodes,
I can see how people can find it very upsetting.

What I found interesting was that at the same time there was a controversy
over a new documentary on 311 "???????" that was chastised for using
"yarase" ( more on it in this article:
http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20140305-00000033-flix-movi). I find it
interesting that these two issues over the "authenticity" of the image is
happening at the same time.

Thank you Aaron for posting this beautiful tribute. 

I know that Scott had a profound understanding of Buddhist teachings. Hopefully this brought him some solace during the past year as well.

Maureen and Mika?you?re in our thoughts now. The news was very surprising to me, so unfortunate .

Dear all,

I would need some help for a film distribution -related PR. Of course most
on this list follow Japanese film criticism in Japan, but I was wondering
if you have noticed anyone covering also European cinema for any
publication?

I think I presented at SCMS twice in the same panel with Scott. He was very
friendly (which is not what all big names are towards lowly graduate
students), a true gentleman, besides having a sharp and intellectual mind.

I indeed did post in the comments section. Quentin: I think Docpoint of
Helsinki is counted as a European festival? Meaning the one good thing
about this list is that they even recognized that a country like Finland
has a film festival. :D

Much more likely its just not on their radar, for the reasons that Abe 
Marcus Nornes has commented about - sharply - in various places over the 
years, such as in his piece the recent BFI Documentary anthology. It's a 
pretty dumb list, actually. IDFA and Nyon are the only Euro fests, Tel 
Aviv seems to be the only outside of the Euro/America-sphere. Sheffield, 
CPH:DOX, Yunnan (...or at least one of the Chinese fests...) and Yogakarta 
are stand-out omissions for me, but others will have their own.

The only thing you can do with these things is to try to improve the

If we were to be generous, one could say that since the article is really 
an announcement of the lineup of the 2014 Full Frame Documentary Film 
Festival, it is emphasizing festivals held in 2014. (YIDFF will not be 
held this year.) So perhaps they are just prioritizing festivals that are 
held annually, which Yamagata is not.

I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear this. I first met Scott when he and
Maureen came to a conference in Iowa City, early in my graduate studies.
Gracious is the word that comes to mind. The whole field was contentious in
those days and it was rare to meet someone who was engaged in those debates
and at the same time encouraging of positions that didn't match his own.
When I think of how enjoyable it was to meet and discuss with my colleagues
at SCMS last week I'm glad that his style, as well as his ideas, have had
an influence on our world.

My condolences to Maureen and Scott's family. He will be deeply missed.

Thanks Aaron. I learned about his passing in the middle of the night when
Corey Creekmur posted a notice on Facebook. There's something unsettling
about learning this kind of thing through social media; however, Creekmur
added the famous frame of Hara Setsuko pouring her tears into her hands. I
think Scott would have appreciated that.

Scott made an important and lasting contribution to the formation of
Japanese film studies as an academic discipline in the 1980s. He was right
there in the mix, bringing a newly forged theoretical commitment to the
field and constantly testing provocative and ambitious ideas in lectures,
conference talks and a string of important articles.

I was a graduate student at USC when I first met him. USC was ridiculously
competitive at the time, starting with its lopsided funding scheme (the
less you fought the more you paid)--something that leeched into the culture
of the grad seminars. It was a bad model for functioning in the world,
especially when there were none of today's professionalizing activities
like mock conference presentations and such. So the first time I met Scott
was also the first time I gave a paper at a conference. It was in Hawai'i
at the festival's conference, maybe in 1990 or so, and thanks to the
free-for-alls of my seminars I was pretty tone deaf about gauging
criticism. After my presentation was over, Scott came up to me with a
series of further questions, was incredibly gracious and wonderfully
affirming, and then--in his typically genial way--said something like, "You
know, you really don't need to be so strident regarding the people who came
before you." I was taken aback, and it took me some years to really
understand what he was talking about. It was my first introduction to
honest to god collegiality, and an example I've taken to heart over the
years.

Scott actually had a regrettably short battle with his leukemia. He
discovered it shortly after a trip to China last summer, and I sensed an
excitement with that trip that probably would have led to some interesting
articles on Chinese language cinema. Instead, as he went through rounds of
chemo and found himself cooped up in super-clean hospital rooms, he wrote a
stunning series of mini-essays about life, lines, and lineages in Facebook.
They were fascinating and I urge you to read through them in his memory.

The NCC site on Image Use has some useful resources and suggestions: http://guides.nccjapan.org/imageuse

For large quantities it is a bit expensive, but in the past I have used single images from the Mainichi Photo Bank. Their system for permission and payment is fairly easy to use and the prices clearly indicated on their webpage.

https://photobank.mainichi.co.jp/php/KK_left_menu.php

I wonder if other similar organizations have something similar?

There are likely to be images in all sorts of popular magazines, though on average the quality is not wonderful unless they were published in the front sections. Some of the ??type publications might have some good images in the gurabia section that are of higher quality. If you can access originals of those publications, it might not be hard to receive permission from the publishers of those magazines. If you can acquire the originals of the magazines you cut out the middle-man (not so much about cost as paperwork), and it might be worth doing internet searches on the used bookstore clearing house sites. More and more the stores are indexing the tables of contents for popular topics. Koseisha Database subscribed to by various libraries can also help you find popular magazine articles from that period. It might not be worth it if you are just looking for images, but you might want to take a quick look at it.

Of course it would be wonderful if there turns out to be access to a photographic archive that contains more of these images.

Good luck!

Hello,

I am looking to find photographs and footage and newspaper articles of Albert Einstein's trip to Japan in 1922. He traveled to several cities including Tokyo and Sendai in November-December of 1922, and I have read in his travel journal that he was photographed constantly while on the trip.  Does anyone have contact information for Japanese footage/photo/archival news outlets?

Many many thanks in advance!

You should look up Greg Golley's work--some is in public domain (http://gregorygolley.com/presentations.html), while Harvard East Asian Studies put out his monograph a couple years back. Greg has quit the biz of the ivory tower and become a novelist/independent scholar, but his academic work is still very much in the game. There's a lot about Einstein in there, and it is framed in terms of conceptual art debates, as well as competing realisms, ideas of montage and other such big ideas. So, if questioning the space-time continuum is your thing, this might be a good sourcebook. 

Cheers,
Anne

Daishima worked for a few years on the Yamagata festival (we were partners for the First Nations Film Festival they put on), and also helped found Higashi Nakano Box theater. About that time he started turning toward film, and must have begun following Otsu around with a camera around four or five years ago.

This is a project spearheaded by Daishima Haruhiko. They co-directed the
film together. Daishima worked for a few years on the Yamagata festival (we
were partners for the First Nations Film Festival they put on), and also
helped found Higashi Nakano Box theater. About that time he started turning
toward film, and must have begun following Otsu around with a camera around
four or five years ago.

I can't wait to see this film!

director/producer brothers Hirobumi & Yuji Watanabe doing a Q&A.

>>From Japan we opened with a the Finnish theatrical release premiere of Like

In English, some clips of very poor quality turned up on YouTube. See 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrddI9NjowE.

There was a most or all of the film on-line in Japanese, but I can't for 
now locate it - but suspect this should be easy to locate.  FYI the 
Amundsen expedition film has a small amount of footage of when the two 
expeditions met; you'll find that on the Norwegian National Library's DVD 
restoration.

Hi KineJapaners,

Thanks for the links and reference. It was this particular documentary 
that I was looking for.
And yes, I meant the 1912 Shirase Antaratic Expedition film. Is there also 
an online source available?

Dear Neeltje, 
The current issue of the Journal of Film Preservation (#89, 11/2013) has 
an article by Jo Osawa, ?Archiving Disaster: Multiple Versions of 
Documentary Films about the Great Kanto Earthquake? (pp93-102). 
This includes Chart 1, whose final column includes notes about location. 
Only one of them, ?Hyohan? has a specific web address, 
http://edu.city.sasayama.hyogo.jp/video/kantodaisinsai.html 
But this seems to be the same one that Alex has found, although I haven?t 
checked in detail.

Portions of one documentary on the Kanto Earthquake are available online.

Gennifer Weisenfeld's book Imaging Disaster also deals with documentary

Dear Neeltje,
The current
issue of the Journal of Film Preservation (#89, 11/2013) has an article by Jo
Osawa, ?Archiving Disaster: Multiple Versions of Documentary Films about the
Great Kanto Earthquake? (pp93-102).
This includes
Chart 1, whose final column includes notes about location.? Only one of them, ?Hyohan? has a specific web
address, 
http://edu.city.sasayama.hyogo.jp/video/kantodaisinsai.html
But this
seems to be the same one that Alex has found, although I haven?t checked in
detail.
Roger

Dear Neeltje,
Portions of one documentary on the Kanto Earthquake are available online. 
http://videotube.sasayama.jp/index.php  (Look on the right hand side- 3/4 reels available)
Gennifer Weisenfeld's book Imaging Disaster also deals with documentary from the earthquake. I have a partial list of other documentaries on the Kanto Earthquake that I can share if you contact me off list.

Hi Aaron, I had a student working on the representations of single mothers
especially in film and television. I could put ypu in touch with her if
you'd like some general information. Yours, Lola

Message-ID: <1227071A-1F44-4296-9643-6F93A953666A@stonebridge.com>

For those on the KineJapan list interested in anime, we wanted to let you know that Stone Bridge Press has just released a new digital and print edition of Patrick Drazen?s cultural guidebook, Anime Explosion! The What? Why? and Wow! of Japanese Animation.  

This new edition is updated and revised, now ten years after its first publication, and it offers an interpretive tour of the world of Japanese animation, from older artistic traditions to the works of today?s creators like Miyazaki, Otomo, Kon, and CLAMP. Examined are anime?s major themes, styles, and conventions, plus the familiar tropes of giant robots, samurai, furry beasts, high school heroines, and gay/girl/fanboy love. Concluding are essays on fan-favorite films, including Evangelion, Escaflowne, Sailor Moon, Patlabor, and Fullmetal Alchemist.  
 
We have created a less expensive e-book edition, which contains live links to almost all the films mentioned in the text: just click on the link to view images from the film or to get more information about its creators and history from websites all over the internet. The print edition contains the same links in an appendix at the back of the book. The print edition is $45.00 and the e-book is $16.95.

To learn more about the book, please visit: http://www.cbsdsmarttools.com/sites/m49992/index.html

Best, Amy-lynn

Dear Eija,

I saw the first 20 minutes of the first show and it was just awful (the situation and the dialog was too unrealistic, performance is too exaggerated), so I changed the channel.  All I could see was scandalization. I didn't see any sincere attempts to tackle the problem. I was appalled and found the whole premise so offensive and pretentious that I couldn't keep watching. When I heard the show was under serious criticism, I could totally understand it. I think it's one of the typical commercial attempts to stir up controversies but really I didn't find any critical mind at work in the show, and I had no intention to watch it again.

Dare mo shiranai is based loosely on a case of child abandonment in Tokyo in the late 1980s. I haven't seen the TV show so I can't compare them, but the film does show the oldest boy seeking help from two of the "fathers" and them rejecting him and shirking responsibility.

> Related to this, I wonder if anyone has opinions on Dare mo shiranai and if there was similar reception to this - i.e. controversy. Of course it?s a different case since it was a movie and so presumably didn?t have sponsors like a TV show would. Anyway, it?s interesting to me because I heard that was also ?based on a true story? (is that right?). I?m not a film expert by any means, so I hope this isn?t an ignorant question. I feel like the issue of the portrayal of child-rearing responsibility being solely the mother?s is similar between the two but I haven?t seen the movie in quite a while.

Related to this, I wonder if anyone has opinions on Dare mo shiranai and if there was similar reception to this - i.e. controversy. Of course it?s a different case since it was a movie and so presumably didn?t have sponsors like a TV show would. Anyway, it?s interesting to me because I heard that was also ?based on a true story? (is that right?). I?m not a film expert by any means, so I hope this isn?t an ignorant question. I feel like the issue of the portrayal of child-rearing responsibility being solely the mother?s is similar between the two but I haven?t seen the movie in quite a while.

Dear Eija

in the first place, i was disappointed to see the title before its airing, because it represents mothers' responsibility for child-rearing, ignoring fathers' presence. Before its broadcasting, our study group somehow predicted this type of TV drama's consequences. 

Okamura of 99's remark was indeed expected. However, since this drama was based on the fact, Baby's post, it cannot avoid criticism only by saying "it's just a fiction." 

I personally think that this drama is challenging "Japanese motherhood in crisis" problem, so the demand for finishing the drama or amending the storyline is not
appropriate. I would rather consider how audiences make sense of this 
kind of stereotypical trope. In this sense, high school boy's signature-collecting
campaign was very interesting.

Thank you for raising up this issue to discuss.

Best,
Akiko

Sorry to sidetrack from cinema to TV drama, but I was wondering if anyone
living in Japan now has seen this drama titled ???????? and what are your
thoughts on it? Seems like an interesting case of the network pulling there
PR down because of criticism of the show.

Message-ID: <EAF26064E991174C8F53EBBE2A8094A2E8394846@ums-loymbs1.concordia.ca>

Dear KineJapaners,

With apologies for cross-posting, I take the liberty to email you about a project that I am involved in: ?Media Mix Summer Program 2014? organized by and held at the University of Tokyo, and supported by the Kadokawa Culture Promotion Foundation.

This two-week summer program will be held at the University of Tokyo this summer, from July 14-26, 2014.

The topic is the media mix and media convergence, and the program will examine this transmedia movement between film, anime, manga, music and other media forms from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Ian Condry, Otsuka Eiji, Yoshimi Shunya and myself will be giving presentations, and we plan to invite practitioners and industry actors to develop a better sense of the way the media mix works. Theoretical sessions to develop methodologies for studying the media mix are also planned, as are field trips to Tokyo archives, studios and site of media mix practice. For anyone interested in an aspect of media convergence or the media mix, this should be a fantastic opportunity. Historical and transnational approaches to the media mix are also very welcome.

Given how the media mix and media convergence are themselves such expansive phenomena, this will provide the opportunity to think collectively about approaches, methods, and materials for the study of the media mix. Or, perhaps more accurately, media mixes in their diversity. The aim is for this to be a collective research project in the widest sense, and the format of the two-week summer seminar will reflect this goal.

The summer program is aimed towards upper level undergraduate students and graduate students who work on Japanese ?pop culture? widely defined, though junior professors, and anyone in the workforce (academic, festivals, etc) are also invited to apply. There is an application process, and the applications are due by April 4, 2014. It doesn?t give much time, but there application process does not seem arduous.

Those chosen to participate in the program will be given up to 100,000 yen to subsidize their travel to Japan, and will be provided with accommodations for the duration of the summer program. There is no tuition. It?s a pretty sweet deal, I think.

I would ask you all to encourage your students to apply, or consider applying.

I would also ask you to pass this along to whomever you think may be interested, and to your colleagues.

For more information please see the website:

Thank you for your time, and attention.

Sincerely,
Marc

Dear
KineJapaners,
I see the Ozu
co-scripted tv drama that was broadcast on an NHK premium channel last October, ?????,? Seishun h?kago,- and mentioned
here at the time - will make an appearance in Paris at the Cin?math?que fran?aise on Sunday
May 4th at 2130.
http://m.cinematheque.fr/web-app/cycle.html?cycl_id=573&visi_oid=23a3f6ba-b912-4e58-a21b-000000000322
It forms part
of their Ozu retrospective.
I?d like to
hear from any who have seen it what a suitable english title would be - ?After-school
Class? - or have I got the wrong end of the stick ?
Roger
