I highly recommend this forum and round table. I attended numerous presentations organized by Daisy and others last year and I learned so much about the deep cross-pollination across Asia(s) not only in animation but also artists, audiences, and all the politics of aesthetics and states. They also made sure there was ample time for questions and discussion.

Topics (primarily centered in Europe) look both intriguing and informative, and there is at least one presentation on the Path?-Baby and home film projection in China (Day 2). Day 1 focus: technology, the gauge, media archaeology, archival practice, broad applications, theoretical debate (includes session on the importance of 9.5mm in preserving lost films) Day 2 focus: home projection equipment and film libraries Day 3 focus: filmmakers, amateur and others ? their films, their practice, their equipment, cine clubs Best, Joanne Joanne Bernardi, Ph.D. (she/her) Professor | University of Rochester, PO Box 270082, Rochester NY USA ________________________________ Conference programme confirmed: The ?little apparatus?: 100 years of 9.5mm film (16, 17, 18 June 2022 | ONLINE) by Malcolm Cook (06 May 2022 06:39 UTC) Dear Domitor Colleagues We would like to advise that the programme for the upcoming conference: The ?little apparatus?: 100 years of 9.5mm film (16, 17, 18 June 2022 | ONLINE), has now been confirmed and can be viewed on the conference website. Booking/registration link at the foot of the email December 1922 will mark the centenary of the introduction of 9.5mm film to the French cinematographic market. Path? Freres first launched their ?Path? Baby? home cinema system on domestic territory in time for the Christmas season, with the promise of a soon-to-follow lightweight and modestly priced cine-camera using the same narrow gauge, and fitting in a vest pocket (1923, pp. 48?50). In time, the new gauge became available elsewhere -arriving just ahead of Kodak?s 16mm film/cinema system, and together these signalled the first major boom in amateur filmmaking. The conference organisers are delighted to confirm keynote addresses by Dr Ryan Shand (Ravensbourne University London) and Dr Annamaria Motrescu-Mayes (University of Cambridge). We have a packed schedule of papers from archivists, scholars, and filmmakers across the globe ? the programme, a full list of speakers and abstracts can now be found on the conference website. For the benefit of those attending in other time zones, we have endeavoured to position some our keynotes a little later in the day. Conference date: 16, 17, 18 June 2022 Venue: Hosted online via MS Teams Book online: The ?little apparatus?: 100 years of 9.5mm film (16-18 June) Tickets | Eventbrite Links to the event and screening material will be shared with delegates 2 weeks ahead of the event.

Message-ID: <0F5CE5D1-9B5A-4A4B-AB30-F3B7FD583705@yale.edu> You can check out Airbnb, but the common option in Tokyo would be weekly mansions, which would give you clean, furnished place with a kitchen for less than a hotel. They can differ in price depending on the location and accommodations, but there are some near central Tokyo that would cost about 90,000 to 100,000 yen if you had it for a month. We once stayed in a weekly mansion in Sangenjaya?which is convenient to Yebisu?when our house on the same line was unavailable. It did not cost that much. As for entering Japan, foreigners can now enter Japan, but only those with visas. It seems they will experiment with allowing tourists in next month, starting with those on group tours.

They can differ in price depending on the location and accommodations, but there are some near central Tokyo that would cost about 90,000 to 100,000 yen if you had it for a month. We once stayed in a weekly mansion in Sangenjaya?which is convenient to Yebisu?when our house on the same line was unavailable. It did not cost that much. As for entering Japan, foreigners can now enter Japan, but only those with visas. It seems they will experiment with allowing tourists in next month, starting with those on group tours.

I mention it here because Jasmine also does one for the CinemaRitrovato in Bologna, which isquite a challenge to timetable. This month?s nugget in Londonis a screening of Early Japanese Animation with english benshi and live musicat the Barbican on 5th June. The films are mostly different from thescreening at the NFT last month, and several are new to me.? You can reach the Barbican?s page by hoveringover Jasmine?s listing. ? The Barbican set are all silent. For me, the great surprise of the BFI/NFTselection, all from DCP, were the orchestrally accompanied films from 1943, TheSpider?s Thread ?????,and The Spider and the Tulip ????????? . The soundquality in NFT1 was what I would call hi-fi ? a million miles from what Iusually get on Japanese films of the period. I hadn?t heard such good soundfrom a Japanese film before, I'd say, 1980, and I was encouraged to think thatsuch sound was now recoverable. This set was 10 films, shown all together withoutbreak, defying any mortal?s ability to remember much of the middle films. So, Iwent again, this time in NFT2. And the sound quality was fair but notcomparable. I raised this with the BFI, who tell me they are upgrading thespeakers in NFT2 and NFT3 this month. But it was a surprise to me to discoverthat the limiting factor in sound quality in 1943 films was far more recent replayequipment.

(It broke both the Sono Shion and the Sakaki Hideo stories.) So it might not be too easy to reject. The timing of this new article obviously goes with the release of the first part of her Olympics documentary, and the initial articles about the film. I see there is criticism on social media of her first public statements about the film on its release, when she makes comments like this: "I wanted to bring the focus back on the everyday hustle, challenges and the strife, especially of the committee members, issues of feminism. Also, of the government officials who took upon themselves this responsibility having committed Japan to holding these Games. There?s something incredibly Japanese about this idea of responsibility and commitment. Maybe it cannot be fully understand beyond Japan. The notion of what you?ve decided, you have to see through." https://variety.com/2022/film/news/kawase-naomi-japan-olympics-cannes-film-festival-1235277301/ Her notions of both what is ?Japanese? and what is ?feminism? have some people scratching their heads.

Date: Thu, 26 May 2022 22:45:35 +0000 Subject: [KineJapan] [External] Re: Kawase Redux In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I saw "Side A" at the Cannes screening with Kawase in attendance (see attached). Haven't really followed the protests, so can only speak about the film. I have seen all the Olympics films ... and all Kawase's work. Side A was frustrating. Though it started in a quietly poetic way no other Olympics film has really dared, it quickly devolved into repetitive and usually superficial lessons about gender equality and a specifically Japanese approach to the highlighted sports. 20+ minutes were devoted to the contrast between a breastfeeding Canadian basketball player, one who stood up against the Olympic Committee's ban on family member's attendance, and a star Japanese basketball player and recent mother, who says she simply accepted the ban (she "followed the rule") and gave up her spot on the team. Sportswise, Side A was probably 85% women's basketball, judo, and karate. A single three (?) minute montage at the end of the film showed a handful of other events. Much of the (non-interview) footage is quite beautiful. Kawase said there were 5000 hours of footage. I wish someone else had cut it. I think she said the movies come to Japan in June - one one week and the other the next. Bob Robert W.

He led a pretty extraordinary life. Grew up in Ireland, where his father was a cop in the Royal Irish Constabulary?the wrong side, so after the Irish War of Independence they left for America. One of his first assignments as a cameraman was the photo unit shooting FDR around the start of WWII, and then he trained as a combat cameraman in Hollywood. He ended up shooting air raids over Germany, becoming one of the main cameramen for William Wyler's *Memphis Belle*. After VE Day, he was sent to the Pacific Theater where he ended up on the US Strategic Bombing Survey after surrender. There, he produced the famous *Effects of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. * The Japanese filmmakers, like Iwasaki Akira, understandably thought the worst of McGovern because of the film's suppression. Actually, he was responsible for keeping the production going, partially funding it, paving the way for a national release in the US and, when the film was classified, secretly struck two 16mm copies and hid them...just in case. In the end, 9 big boxes of original production materials, including the negatives, disappeared. Were it not for several of his interventions, we would have no moving images of the aftermath of the atomic bombings?no exaggeration. I've written about McGovern and his relationship to the Japanese crew in *Japanese** Documentary Film* (and the essay "The Body at the Center "). What you get in *Rebels to Reels* is lots of new information on the production and suppression of the film, and embedded in the story of McGovern's life. There is also a lot of fascinating, granular history about how the combat cameramen worked. It's an important book for filling out the story of *Effects of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki* and the color footage shot by McGovern and Harry Mimura. I met McGovern back when I was writing about the genbaku eiga in 1991. He was way taller than me and had a steely handshake. He graciously shared his memories about his time in Japan, as well as documents (which are in this online archive I created for the film). Now that I read this book, I realize I should have spent much more time with him, and ask about everything else he did besides *Effects.* Here is a website for the book, which has samples of McGovern's film work: https://www.rebelstoreels.com And the book is available on Amazon.
