[KineJapan] Housing in Tokio

Wed May 11 13:32:14 EDT 2022

Dear all,

Next year, from March 14, I’ll stay in Tokio until May 12 for a research grant from JF. So, please, I need help for the housing. The research will be mainly in Tokyo Photographic Art Museum (TOP), Yebisu Garden Place, 1-13-3 Mita Meguro-ku. I guess it is an expensive area, so maybe I need to live in any other close areas… Most of the time I’ll be alone, so an small place is OK (as naïve as it can sound talking about Tokio 😉

Any help is welcome! Fell free to write me directly if you don’t want to disturb the list.

By the way, they tell me that from some weeks ago Tokio airports are already opened for foreign visitors.

Thanks in advance and Best regards,

Asunto: Re: [KineJapan] Special Program on Okinawa films

This looks like a terrific series on cinematic visions of Okinawa. And that's a terrific deal to see three hard-to-see films online!

If anyone is interested in reading more about the films before or after watching them:

Alex published a great essay on Asia is One and NDU in the Journal of Japanese and Korean Cinema 10.2 (2018)

We also published two "special sections" on Okinawan Images last year (volume 13.1-2, 2021), co-edited by Ran Ma and Kosuke Fujiki. I'll paste the table of contents here:

Thanks for sending this out Alex.

I meant to share it as well. I really recommend to anyone remotely interested in post-war/occupation area Okinawa to check out Motoshinkakarannu at the very least. My understanding is it is very difficult to see. It was also filmed towards the tail-end of the US occupation, which was a tumultuous time for a number of reasons, but is of particular note (and controversy) because of its depiction of the extant yakuza gangs at the time.

Hello All,
Apologies, I forgot to edit the subject line when I just sent out the email. Sorry about that! See the original message below.

Hi Everyone,

This is just to point you to an interesting special of films on Okinawa taking place at the Japan Society New York due to the efforts of Alexander Fee. It features a really nice span of types of films, from a Nakajima Sadao-directed Yakuza film to two usually very difficult to access films by the legendary documentary film collective NDU.

Some films are being streamed as well, though the majority is for in-person screenings.
