Dear friends of Domitor, Cher(es) Domitorien(nes), Snapshots is thrilled to open the 2020 season with a brilliant review from the 2019 Orphans Symposium by Grazia Ingravalle. Ingravalle reflects on the 2019 conference theme 'Radicals' by reliving for us some of its highlights, from a 1899 panorama along the river Gange to punk remakes of Tarkovski's Stalker. In a moving piece, Ingravalle envisions the work of film preservation and re-circulation - as done by Orphanistas or Domitorians - as creating a community of "caring scholars, artists, and archivists" she calls an "Orphans International." You can read it here: https://domitor.org/an-orphans-international-notes-from-the-2019-orphan-film-symposium-austrian-film-museum-june-2019/ Please help us share it widely! Snapshots a le plaisir de commencer l'ann?e 2020 avec le tr?s beau compte rendu du dernier Orphans Symposium ?crit par Grazia Ingravalle. Grazia Ingravalle revient sur le th?me de l'ann?e 2019 "Radicals" en revivant pour nous ses moments forts, allant d'un panorama le long du Gange au remake punk de Stalker de Tarkovski. D'une mani?re ?loquente, l'auteure con?oit le travail de restauration et de re-circulation des oeuvres cin?matographique - au coeur de la mission des Domitoriens comme des 'Orphanistes' - comme cr?ant une "communaut? d'universitaires, d'artistes et d'archivistes bienveillants" qui forme ce qu'elle appelle l'"Orphans International."

Kawashima is surprisingly unknown outside of Japan, where his 1957 comedy Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate is considered one of the country?s greatest films. Coming to artistic maturity in the 1950s before tragically dying at the age of 45 in 1963?at which point he had already made 47 features?Kawashima forms a key bridge between the classical cinema made in Japan before the Pacific War and the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s, one of whose key figures, Shohei Imamura (Vengeance Is Mine), served as assistant director and screenwriter under Kawashima. Working at the Nikkatsu studio, in the 1950s Kawashima crafted numerous melodramas and comedies that brilliantly reflected the changing social standards and morals of a nation trying to recover from both the war and American occupation. Ably directing large ensembles in a mixture of adult romance and drama on the one side and ribald comedies on the other, Kawashima proved himself a studio director with an acute sense of Japanese society, eager and willing to explore the limits of what is permissible and what is transgressive. We are proud to present a large retrospective devoted to Kawashima?s work in the 1950s, with many films rarely if ever screened outside of Japan, and most shown in brand new restorations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of my favorites among his works was the brilliant and jaw dropping satire on an "Ozu-like" family called 1962 *The Graceful Brute * (??????, aka *Elegant Beast*) which is on DVD and online now. One of the more over the top fast-paced Japanese satires with biting dialogue by the master of that Shindo Kaneto. It is so true that his work deserves much more attention overseas.

Panel abstract: The passing of Emperor Hirohito in 1989 brought Japan?s long postwar period to an end, at least symbolically. While older Japanese may have felt a sense of closure with his death, those growing up in the years that followed knew a cultural landscape determined not by imperialism, war, or economic growth (as a panacea for the Emperor himself), but rather geological rupture, domestic terrorism, and economic collapse. That is, the loss of the symbolic father seemingly ushered in an era of instability, benchmarked by the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the Aum Shinriky? gas attacks, and the recession that endures today, to name just a few hallmark moments. The LLC Japanese since 1900 MLA Forum invites abstract proposals for a guaranteed panel interrogating and indexing the ways in which Japanese cultural expressions have changed and developed in the post-Showa era. The events of the 1990s did much to inform Japanese subjectively. As Japan scholars have demonstrated, the postwar pillars of academic credentialism, corporate loyalty, and familialism came under intense scrutiny during "the lost decade(s)," In this panel, we are interested in how artists (working in a wide range of media), filmmakers, and musicians have found creativity during these times. Questions we are interested in include: * How do these individuals give representation to the end of an era and/ or the start of a new one? * What are the concerns, anxieties, and/or desires of a new generation at this historical juncture?
