It presents clips of 122 films in 15 minutes starting with Namakura Gatana from 1917. Some have noted the absence of Ghibli or Evangelion, which seems to due to rights problems, but I immediately noticed that they essentially skip over the 1930s and 1940s, especially wartime animation. I doubt that was due to rights issues. Was it a decision to overlook animation's role in supporting World War II? Or a general failure to recognize interwar history? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t-GV4XcJak Aaron Gerow Professor Film and Media Studies Program/East Asian Languages and Literatures Yale University 320 York Street, Room 311 PO Box 208324 New Haven, CT 06520-8324 USA Phone: 1-203-432-7082 Fax: 1-203-432-6729 e-mail: aaron.gerow at yale.edu website: www.aarongerow.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Deadine for submissions: January 31, 2018 We welcome submissions for the 17th Kinema Club Conference on Film and Moving Images from Japan.

While last year?s conference focused on the formative years of ?Japanese Film Studies? as a field of research, the upcoming Kinema Club aims to broaden the perspective and reflect about the challenges, achievements, problems and tasks of studying Japanese film in the past, the present, and the future. Suggested topics are: = challenges, goals, problems and solutions of studying Japanese film outside of Japan = case-studies of specific countries or regions = case studies of specific (foreign) researchers and/or specific texts by them = access to sources and films; archives, libraries; subtitles; funding, grants; scholarly networks; etc. = issues with regard to publishing = institutionalized (academic) Japanese film studies (institutional pressures, organizational changes and their effect on the field, academic trends, influences from other fields, etc.) = role of Japanese film studies within Film Studies in general = relation of Japanese film studies with media studies, area studies, etc. = non-academic studies of Japanese film = situation of foreign scholars/researchers in Japan respectively Japanese scholars/researchers working outside of Japan = experiences of ryugaku (foreigners studying in Japan, Japanese studying abroad) = co-operations and exchange (with Japanese colleagues, institutions, etc.), networks (e.g. KineJapan), etc. Beside individual presentations, we welcome other formats such as discussion rounds, live interviews, etc. as well. Panel submissions should at least have three presenters. Presentations in English and Japanese are welcome. We are looking for an open forum of (self)reflection and (self)critical discussion. We hope to assess our achievements in the past, discuss the challenges we are facing today, and how our field might develop in the future. Not least we also want to reflect on Kinema Club respectively KineJapan itself, how it has developed, what it has achieved and what it hasn?t achieved in the twenty years of its existence. Dates: The conference will be held on February 20-21 at the Meiji Gakuin University, Shirokanedai Campus, Tokyo. Submissions: Please send abstracts of up to 200 words or any questions to: domenig at ltr.meijigakuin.ac.jp Deadline for submissions is January 31, 2018. We hope to see you there!

The former produce films almost exclusively from proven properties in other media, particularly manga, while the latter face a steady shrinkage in both budgets and screening slots.

What I am concerned about is the chance some materials may have been withdrawn. There was something fishy about this when I was first informed last year re budgets. So I have just contacted an 'insider' perhaps they can shed some light. I know quite a few people who need to visit next year, myself included. Although I'm sure it will be fine.

I just wanted to put an question to the assembled company. I shall be relocating to Hiroshima in the near future, and I was wondering if the list members are aware of any film-related events taking place in that vicinity? I know about the animation festival and will certainly be visiting that, but is there anything else? Thanks for your time. Happy Christmas to everyone!
