[KineJapan] Japanese Transnational Cinema 2-day seminar, Birkbeck College, Thu, 23 May 2019, 10:00 – Fri, 24 May 2019, 17:00

[Earl Jackson]

The strange thing about the page for the conference - it lists the
participants and provides a link for the "full programme" - but
that takes you to all the days of every event of Arts week. If click on
 May 23  you get this description but no actual list of papers. Nor does
the item on Friday provide any more information.

Library, 43 Gordon Square. This workshop challenges the old paradigm of
National Cinema. It highlights the limitations of studying Japanese film as
a cinematic phenomenon confined to its national borders, asking: to what
extent is Japanese cinema Japanese? And is it a National Cinema?
Please note this
is a two-day conference with activity on Friday as well.  "
