It featured panelists with deep experience in production and distribution, as well as a couple really smart lawyers. The case study at the center of the discussions was Shusenjo, and the recent law suits they won (these were the lawyers). It was incredibly informative, and anyone interested in the issues of fair use, face rights, and an in-the-weeds discussion of Japanese case law should definitely watch it. I learned a lot! The video is available for rental viewing until Sept. 10.

This call for papers invites abstracts that consider Japanese cinema from refreshing and unusual perspectives. We are especially interested in papers that seek to redefine the field, pushing at the borders and boundaries of Japanese film studies, as well as work that may exist on the edges or fringes of the field, perhaps in dialogue with other disciplines, or multi-modal in nature. The conference will run parallel to Sheffield DocFest 2024, offering participants the opportunity to interrogate Japanese nonfiction cinema and media within the context of global film and the international film festival circuit. We hope this ?post?-pandemic Kinema Club will provide opportunities for collaboration: across geographies, disciplines, modalities, and generations. Applicants are encouraged to consider borders and boundaries in the widest possible terms, and topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: - The boundaries of ?Japan?: what constitutes ?Japanese? cinema and where is ?Japanese? cinema made and viewed? - What might it mean to approach the study of ?Japanese? cinema from the edges or fringes - drawing from disciplines other than film studies, or taking creative approaches? - Is there a ?lunatic fringe? in Japanese film studies and if so, what might we do with it? Conference Format: The format of this conference includes a variety of presentation types and styles. Ideally, this variation allows the conference to be as inclusive as possible, and include as many participants as possible?especially contingent faculty, early career scholars, graduate students, and non-academics. The conference will take place over 3 half-days, and each day will be dedicated to a different presentation format. - Day 1 presentations will take the form of traditional paper presentations of 20 minutes, organised into panels of 3 papers with 30 minutes Q&A at the end of all presentations. - Day 2 presentations will take the form of lightning round panels, with short ?provocation papers? of 10 minutes each grouped by theme into rounds of 3. A 60 minute Q&A and discussion will follow. - Day 3 is dedicated to roundtables of 5-6 participants, addressing key issues in the field. How to apply: The application process for this conference aims for maximum inclusivity. We have included a number of questions in this Google Form to gauge interest and availability. There will be no pre-constituted panels or roundtables. Participants are welcome to choose one or multiple presentation types in the Google Form, and the organisers will do their best to group panels by theme, topic, and interest, and with diversity in mind. Please complete the form by Friday 8th September 2023. Acceptance notifications will be with you by the end of September to allow maximum preparation time. -- Professor Jennifer Coates Professor of Japanese Studies Departmental Director of Research & Innovation (DDRI) School of East Asian Studies (SEAS) University of Sheffield Office 4.21, Floor 4, Jessop West, 1 Upper Hanover St, Broomhall, Sheffield S3 7RA Recent publications: Coates, J. 2023.
