[KineJapan] 9.5mm online Conference in June commemorating 100 Years of 9.5mm film

Sat May 7 00:15:57 EDT 2022

In view of 9.5mm’s popularity in Japan, I’m forwarding the Domitor listserv announcement below. Topics (primarily centered in Europe) look both intriguing and informative, and there is at least one presentation on the Pathé-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

December 1922 will mark the centenary of the introduction of 9.5mm film to the French cinematographic market.  Pathé Freres first launched their ‘Pathé 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.<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fsites.google.com*2Fview*2F100yearsof95mmconference*2Fhome&data=05*7C01*7CM.Cook*40soton.ac.uk*7Ce8c84d69237440539dcd08da2ee2bfb1*7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8*7C0*7C0*7C637873848646670426*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C3000*7C*7C*7C&sdata=rCQ5nSvWjlSyYWvxxYMxWYZnGeliUkdUk4BOyxZuZPA*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!CGUSO5OYRnA7CQ!KqBbRkN7U3DieswX_wnk-ObkIlrbikdg1RRIHTkrk0GKI5GhDwFpqPR2UqQqbDoyu-gvBMmY$>  For the benefit of those attending in other time zones, we have endeavoured to position some our keynotes a little later in the day.
