[KineJapan] NFAJ additions

[Miyao, Daisuke]

Dear all,

Thank you, Aaron, for this valuable information.

If any of you are interested in an accompanying reading, let me shamelessly publicize my book, Japonisme and the Birth of Cinema (Duke UP, 2020). Chapter 2 & 3 discuss the films that Lumiere cinematographers shot in Japan.

Subject: [KineJapan] NFAJ additions

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.
