[KineJapan] pandemic Asian cinema for teaching

[Markus Nornes]

Aaron’s article is really good, in some ways better than the works
themselves.  It clearly has a lot to do with the lack of a sense of danger.

There is a Japanese guy who is in love with China and has a YouTube channel
on the pandemic in Wuhan.

He’s painfully unaware of his own positionality so ends up discomfortingly
compatible with the official line. They’d be great for that assignment.

The most interesting Japanese work I have seen so far is a piece Michael
Arnold posted about by pink directors Imaoka, Meike, and two others. The
pandemic is more the context than the subject. The ending with Sano is
great.
