In addition to the main body of 20 films (one per year), there is a 3-film retrospective of Kiyoshi Kurosawa?s harder-to-see films from this millennium that is accompanied by an hour-long conversation with the director introduced by Kent Jones. There is also a 6-film selection of films by up-and-coming Japanese filmmakers that are available to stream for free. Lastly, there are a few free talks on offer, including Q&As and reflections on the past 20 years of Japanese cinema from participating filmmakers and film critic Mark Schilling. This series is sponsored and co-presented by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan, as part of a new initiative called the ACA Cinema Project. With their support, we could license many Japanese films that would have otherwise been fiscally impossible to secure, so in this way it is something of a special opportunity. Many of these titles are currently unavailable to stream anywhere else within the US or otherwise unavailable with English subtitles.

I just wanted to point out one of the good things that have come out of the zoom world we are now all caught up in. Last week Ichiro Kataoka gave an absolutely fantastic benshi performance for my class via zoom. I was a bit worried about how it would turn out, considering the limits the medium imposes. But the tech worked fine, and Kataoka-san was amazing, and the students were completely taken by it. It brought a much-needed sense of liveness and ?being there? to the virtual classroom. I just wanted to point out that others can do this as well- the good thing is that Kataoka-san can come to anyone?s campus / institution very easily in these circumstances. Hopefully we can invite him in person again soon, but I really recommend taking advantage of this opportunity (it?s also cheaper than inviting him in person, of course). If you?re interested in getting in touch with him to explore the possibility you can write to him at: ichirobenshi at gmail.com Best wishes, take care- Alex ????????

I have always been impressed how UM has been forward-leaning on fair use and open access. Thanks to some big grants, we now have over a hundred Asian studies titles online?with more to come (including my forthcoming book). I think this will be an interesting event. Come and check it out! Markus +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ International Institute Roundtable: ?Open Access Publishing in Asian Studies? February 26, 1 - 5 pm Eastern Time US, Free Zoom Event (Registration Required) Jointly sponsored by the U-M International Institute and University of Michigan Press Open Access publishing means that ebooks can be read by anybody in the world with access to an internet connection. Because open access titles are openly-licensed and downloadable as well as free-to-read online, they are now also available for integration into digital scholarship projects. As book publishing moves increasingly digital, an International Institute collaboration with the U-M Press and with the Asia Library offers new opportunities for imaginative publishing that transcends disciplinary boundaries, reaches readers outside as well as inside the academy, and extends the understanding of Asian culture, history, and society around the world. Over the last 50 years, the centers now housed in the University of Michigan International Institute have published over 300 ground-breaking books about East, South, and Southeast Asia. In 2018, these centers collaborated with University of Michigan Press and the U-M Asia Library to successfully apply for a Humanities Open Book program grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aimed at making important backlist books broadly available again. This funding has allowed a complete record of the centers? publications to be compiled and for 100 selected titles to be brought back into print and made digitally-available open access. These are now all freely available on major online platforms including JSTOR, Project MUSE, OAPEN, and as part of the University of Michigan Press Ebook Collection. This event highlights the impact of the Michigan Asian Studies Open Access Books Collection so far, and asks ?where do we go from here?? While it is focused on the Michigan publications as a case study, the panel aims to explore more broadly the opportunities for Open Access publishing in Asian studies more generally. Thank you to the directors of the participating centers (CJS, CSAS, CSEAS, LRCCS, NCKS) and Asia Library: The Center for Japanese Studies: Reginald Jackson; The Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies: Twila Tardif; The Center for South Asian Studies: Jatin Dua; The Center for Southeast Asian Studies: Laura Rozek; The Nam Center for Korean Studies: Nojin Kwak; The Asia Library: Dawn Lawson.

Ogawa (VCS ?14), Assistant Professor, Nagoya University, Japan. A useful resource for students and scholars of Japanese studies, film studies, and cultural studies more broadly, the volume brings together the work of twenty-one authors with diverse backgrounds, including three University of Rochester alumni, to illuminate the hybridity of approaches that define the field. Divided into four parts, it recasts traditional questions of authorship, genre, and industry in broad conceptual frameworks such as gender, media theory, archive studies, and neoliberalism. Providing a timely and expansive overview of Japanese cinema today, it is the first anthology of Japanese cinema scholarship to span the temporal framework of 200 years, from the vibrant magic lantern culture of the nineteenth century to the formation of the film industry in the twentieth century, culminating in cinema?s migration to gaming, surveillance video, and other new media platforms of the twenty-first century. Featured presentations in this event will include short presentations by the co-editors and three contributors: - Joanne Bernardi, Professor, Department of Modern Languages and Cultures - Shota Ogawa, Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Letters, Nagoya University (?14 VCS) - Joel Anderson, Visiting Assistant Professor, SUNY Purchase (?20 VCS) - Daniel Johnson, Faculty Fellow, NYU Arts & Sciences (?05 FMS) - Kyoko Omori, Associate Professor, Hamilton College Friday, April 9 at 12:00pm to 1:30pm Virtual Event -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think you might have the Routledge Handbook of Japanese Cinema confused with something else? The contents of the Routledge handbook, which I?ll paste below, do not include any reprinted work. We do include translations of selected excerpts from two previously published essays, by the late Misono Ryoko and the scholar Nakamura Hideyuki (we worked with Prof. Nakamura directly on the translated excerpt that constitutes his chapter and of course obtained permission from Prof. Misono?s husband). One of our objectives in putting our Routledge book together was to create a venue for work previously underrepresented in English language scholarship. We knew that your formidable Blackwell book and the equally valuable Japanese Cinema Book were already in the works and hoped for synergy, not duplication, between all three books. Alas, neither Shota nor I knew what Taylor & Francis would charge for the book. Their Asian Studies editor approached me with the idea of a handbook on Japanese cinema, I knew their Handbook series and have used many of these books as valuable resources, and I saw an opportunity to put together, with Shota, what we hope is useful work. I am all in when it comes to open access resources, which I hope is clear from my (open access) resource, Re-Envisioning Japan, and I have long been a big fan of the initiative at U Michigan.

The film gives a multifaceted picture of the Ainu community and culture, as well as the generational differences within it. Fukunaga's upbringing in Hokkaido (where the indigenous Ainu people mostly live), and his experience of living as part of a minority group for sixteen years in New York, have led him to develop a unique style of film-making. As a Japanese filmmaker, Fukunaga looks for ways to tell his stories truthfully, without preconceived notions. The result is a fictional film set in a real Ainu community in Akan, Hokkaido, starring Ainu non-actors playing themselves - including the lead actors, who have never acted in a film before. Fukunaga hopes that the film gives Ainu people a voice, and helps to create a better understanding of them. In this talk chaired by Alastair Phillips, the film will be examined from various perspectives. Why did Fukunaga make this film now? How is the film perceived in Japan and elsewhere? What implications might it have for the Ainu community? Speakers: Alastair Phillips is Professor of Film Studies at the University of Warwick. He has worked for the British Film Institute (BFI) and the Edinburgh International Film Festival, is an editor of Screen, and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Japanese and Korean Cinema, the BFI Film Classics series, and Bloomsbury Publishing's Screen Studies platform. His research interests incorporate the fields of international film history, culture, and aesthetics with special emphasis on French and Japanese filmmaking, and his current projects include a BFI Classic on Yasujir? Ozu?s Tokyo Story (1953). Among his extensive publications is the recent volume The Japanese Cinema Book, co-edited with Hideaki Fujiki (London: British Film Institute, 2020). Takeshi Fukunaga is a filmmaker born and raised in Hokkaido, Japan. After living in the US for 16 years, he moved his base to Tokyo in 2019. His first feature film, Out of My Hand, premiered in the Panorama section of the Berlin International Film Festival in 2015, won the US Fiction Award, the top prize at the LA Film Festival, and the Emerging Filmmaker Award at the San Diego Asian American Film Festival. The film was nominated for the John Cassavetes Independent Spirit Award and released worldwide through Ava DuVernay?s ARRAY in 2016. Takeshi was selected for a Cannes Film Festival Cin?fondation Residence and the Sam Spiegel International Film Lab to develop his second feature film, Ainu Mosir. The film was made as a Japan/US/China co-production and won a Special Jury Mention in the International Narrative Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival, and Best Film at the 2020 Guanajuato Film Festival.

In six thematically organized workshops featuring a total of twenty-seven speakers from multiple continents, we provide a timely and expansive discussion of the dynamic field of Japanese cinema today with a view to raising productive and critical questions on the field's future. To embrace the translocality that we understand to be at the heart of the field, all talks will be available in English and Japanese via simultaneous interpretation. The timetable itself is experimental, with our attempt to make the event globally accessible in as many time zones as feasibly possible: all six sessions will take place "live" from 5th to 7th March, although they will be experienced in different times of the day depending on the location. Please also take advantage of a concurrent student-curated virtual film series that offers a nonverbal counterpoint to the talks (available to stream from 1st to 13th March). Finally, all registered symposium participants are cordially invited to join us for a reception. ? *Workshop Programme* *5th - 7th March (https://www.filmconf.nagoya/pages/4542998/page_202101141321 )* *OPENING REMARKS * Hideaki Fujiki, Shota T.

Because of Covid, everyone is watching the film beforehand through the library?s Alexander Street subscription. I just opened up Nuclear Nation and am seriously bumming. The image has been letterboxed to something close to 21:9 widescreen. And the resolution is ridiculous. I?d be surprised if it?s 240p. I have to say I?m not shocked. I?ve had to get my library to change the aspect ratio of many films from AS and Kanopy. Neither cares about quality or quality control. And obviously subscribing libraries don?t care enough either. As discs go the way of celluloid, this is our miserable future. Do we just accept this?!

Sasakawa MA and PhD Studentships in Japanese Studies (closing date 18 March 2021) The University of Leeds invites applications from suitably qualified candidates who wish to pursue a taught MA programme in Film Studies with a focus on Japanese cinema, a MA by research (MAR) in Japanese Studies or a PhD in Japanese Studies starting October 2021.

And then sure enough, here's the takeaway quote from Sakamoto Ryuichi: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Several years ago I was on the jury for Za Koenji, which just took place at the beginning of the month. My fellow jury members included Adachi Masao, playwright Sato Makoto, cinematographer Yamazaki Yutaka and the great doc producer Hashimoto Yoshiko. We spent most of the jury meeting griping about the selection before us until Adachi gruffly said, "Why do we even have to give out awards?" And we then had an extraordinarily uncomfortable critique session at the awards ceremony, as their custom was to have all the directors stand on stage to receive comments from the jury?which we dutifully did. I remember Adachi and Yamazaki being particularly tough. But they could do it with a style and a certain reputation reaching back to the old days of Nichidai Eiken and VAN. Wish I had been at PIA to see that Oshima Award announcement!
