[KineJapan] pandemic Asian cinema for teaching

[Roger Macy]

There was a webinar last month from Japanese Studies, Vienna,about a daytime TV series made under Covid, rimorabu. https://japanologie.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/p_japanologie/ujapanlectures/Scherer___Kottmann_-_ujapanlectures_s02e02.pdf

We saw a couple of clips which didn’t get me rushing for more, but it deal with the obvious production difficulties of depicting love/romance for socially distanced actors. I can’tsee a recording of the webinar, at least yet.

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.

Dear All, dear Myriam,
I don't know if you can access it worldwide, but there is a drama (『緊急事態宣言』) now streaming on Amazon Prime (labeled as "documentary/drama" and set as "season 1"), consisting of five short films shot by the likes of Sono Sion, Mariko Tetsuya or Nakano Ryota.Here is a link for more informations : http://www.transformer.co.jp/m/kinkyujitai/All the best,

I wrote about some of the first pieces to appear on the net in the first couple of months of the pandemic in Japan. But perhaps you have those already?

Hi all,My students requested to view some good or interesting Japanese and/or Asian films made during the pandemic that reflect on the pandemic experience either formally or thematically.  Free streaming works (youtube or other) and short works would be the best for easy access, but all ideas appreciated. (Something about life on zoom?)   I have lots more from before that could be brought into the conversation but not recent ones. Feel free to share to the list or to me privately offline.Thanks!Miryam
