[KineJapan] [EXTERNAL] NFAJ additions

[Claire-Akiko Brisset]

Dear Prof. Gerow,

Thank you very much for this wonderful news, since it is not possible to screen online the Lumière films through the official website of the Institute.

I am nevertheless puzzled by the presentation of 3 films on the NFAJ site, that is the films attributed to an “unknown cameraman” (n°981, 982 and 985 of the Lumière catalogue):
- https://meiji.filmarchives.jp/lumiere-works/ML19-981.html
- https://meiji.filmarchives.jp/lumiere-works/ML20-982.html
- https://meiji.filmarchives.jp/lumiere-works/ML21-985.html

According to the database to the Lumière Institute, those films were made by Shibata Tsunekichi (with 2 others):

Tsunekichi Shibata<https://catalogue-lumiere.com/operateur/tsunekichi-shibata/>
catalogue-lumiere.com<https://catalogue-lumiere.com/operateur/tsunekichi-shibata/>

How is it possible to explain this discrepancy?

Best wishes,

The National Film Archive of Japan is slowly but surely building up their collection of resources accessible online. Here are two recent additions:

The NFAJ has just uploaded onto their site 29 of the films that Lumiere cameramen shot in Japan in the last years of the 1800s. Most are about one minute long and feature street scenes, actors, Ainu, dancers, and other subjects.

In addition, they have added 873 flyers and programs to their Non-Film Collection Portal, which includes examples from 1905 to 1936.
