We are looking forward to welcoming many of you! Best, Daisuke Daisuke Miyao Professor Hajime Mori Chair in Japanese Language and Literature Director of the Japanese Studies Program Director of Doctoral Studies, Department of Literature University of California, San Diego ***************** Feminist World-Building in Japanese Cinema / Building Feminist Worlds in Japanese Cinema University of California, San Diego | May 2-3, 2019 Across the production, criticism and scholarship of Japanese cinema, there remains startlingly little feminist work. We might attribute this to who controls the means of cinematic production in the Japanese film industry, to Japan?s starkly gendered division of labor, to the limitations on film content that these structural conditions reproduce, to the flows that gender film audiences, or to the systems that assign value with the academy, privileging certain narratives, actors, voices, etc. Whatever the calculus, in Japanese cinema as elsewhere, we have arrived at a moment of what Sara Ahmed recently described as ?feminist snap,? that breaking point when ?she[/we/you/I] just can?t take it anymore? and when feminist work seems more necessary than ever. Interested as much in film practice as film criticism, theory and scholarship, we ask: what are feminisms in the context of Japanese cinema? What, now, can feminist knowledges help us address or even rectify in Japanese cinema? What might they be insufficient to address? What prompts a split between the study of gender and sexuality in Japanese cinema and a feminist politic? What forms of intersectionality, transnationality, and comparison does a feminist take on Japanese cinema necessitate? We invite you to join us in an exercise of "creative" and "affirmative world-building" (Ahmed) in, through, and with Japanese cinema.

Alex Meet the Director! A Conversation with Eizo Yamagiwa about Japanese New Wave Cinema Eizo Yamagiwa is a formative figure in Japanese film history and has carried many hats: Japanese New Wave rebel and the last director to emerge from the bankruptcy of the major film studio Shin-Toho, film critic and co-founder of the central film journal Eiga Hihy? (Film Critique), but also fan favorite as director of the Ultraman sci-fi TV series and prominent political activist for prisoners? rights. To accompany the pioneering retrospective The Other New Wave: Alternate Histories of Post-WWII Japanese Cinema at the Harvard Film Archive this April, we welcome Eizo Yamagiwa on skype from Tokyo to discuss the other history of Japanese cinema in the postwar. The conversation will be accompanied by clips from Yamagiwa?s film The End of Love (1961), a legendary film until recently thought lost. (The film will be screened in full at the HFA on April 20 and 21). Participants: Film curator Go Hirasawa and Japanese film researchers Julia Alekseyeva (Reischauer Institute / University of Pennsylvania) and Alexander Zahlten (Harvard University) will give a brief introduction to a highly experimental moment in Japanese film history before leading into a conversation with Eizo Yamagiwa. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Dear All, I just wanted to share some exciting news for anyone in North America: from tomorrow for a year the director Tetsuya MARIKO will be based at Harvard University, in a similar way that Ryusuke HAMAGUCHI (Happy Hour) was based here for a year. That means if you are interested in inviting him to campus, to other kinds of institutions, and are interested in screening his work, this would be quite easy to arrange. Mariko-san is without a doubt one of the most talented, smart and adventurous young directors in Japanese cinema today. He is the only person to win the main prize at the Yubari Fantastic Film Festival twice (in a row!) with his absolutely stunning experimental 8mm films in the early 2000s. His films have been shown widely at international film festivals such as Rotterdam, Hong Kong Intl. FF, Locarno and so on. He won the best new director prize at Locarno for Destruction Babies in 2016 (and the film hit #4 on Kinema Junpo?s best ten of the year list). Mariko-san had an interesting career trajectory, making international waves with his small gauge films while a student at Hosei University, and then going on to study at Tokyo University of the Arts to work with directors like Kurosawa Kiyoshi, where he shot the film Yellow Kid (2009) as his graduation film - again a film that won prizes all over the world. He has additionally worked in music videos and TV, though often his work is difficult to categorize. If you are interested in seeing some of the films to consider which ones might be interesting to show feel free to get in touch with me; I believe Mariko-san has video links that he is happy to share with people interested in screening his work. It?s an amazing opportunity- and if you are in the Boston area please look forward to a retrospective in the near future! With best wishes, Alex ????????
