[KineJapan] Book launch Companion to Japanese Cinema - SOAS, 24th Jan 4-6.30pm UK Time

[Earl Jackson]

Dear Professor,
 My apologies if I sounded annoyed in the previous message, that was not my
intention.
I understand that this was for contributors in the UK.
It will be very interesting and I definitely hope many will attend. I have
read those papers and they are all fascinating and provocative in the best
sense of the word.
Sincerely,
ej
