[KineJapan] Japanese Film Project Survey Result--International Reach?

[Wakae Nakane]

Dear KineJapan subscribers,

I hope everyone is well. I am writing with the hope of hearing some advice from you for effective ways of publicizing the activities of an NPO organization, the Japanese Film Project (JFP, https://jfproject.org/en/). JFP is an organization that researches and makes proposals in order to examine and resolve issues surrounding gender inequalities, labor conditions, and the lack of young talent in the Japanese film industry. The organization was launched last year, and I’ve been helping them as a non-member.

One of the organization’s activities is to publish an annual survey on gender inequality in the Japanese film industry, and it held a press conference in Tokyo last month, which was covered by multiple Japanese media, including the following ones.

Asahi Shimbun

This is the link to the surveyed materials (https://bit.ly/3osGXjx) we would like to circulate outside Japan. These materials are not yet shared publicly, so please refrain from circulating the materials at this point.

As the organization has gradually gained recognition domestically, we have started to think of effective ways to reach wider attention internationally. Do you have any ideas to achieve a wider distribution of the survey results in the international press or academia? I’d appreciate your advice and suggestions. Thank you!


Sincerely,
