[KineJapan] Where might I publish an article about Imai Tadashi?

[johndavidbaldwin at aol.com]

I would like to ask the members of this list for their help in my difficult quest. I have written an essay in praise of -- and, in a sense, in defense of -- the much-maligned and misunderstood left-wing Japanese director Imai Tadashi. The piece is quite long, about 6500 words, so as not only to analyze nine of his finest and most interesting films from the 1950-1964 period (I've excluded, for reasons of length, a number of Imai films of the period that I very much like and admire), but to provide the not-widely-known, by non-specialists, historical context of this achievement: namely, the Japanese Red Scare and the resulting rise of independent film production in 1950s Japan.  
I have, perhaps unwisely, tried to publish the piece in magazines known for their Left politics rather than their enthusiasm for cinema, Japanese or otherwise, with predictable lack of success. So I'm asking if anyone on this list knows of any publications which might consider publishing such an essay. Obviously, it would be preferable if these were English-language publications, but consideration would also be give to non-English ones that are receptive to analyses of both Asian and Leftist film artists, and I'll try to see if I can have it translated.  
As for my own experience, I have created the website uchidatomu.com about the great director Uchida Tomu, and published a long chapter on Uchida's masterpiece film Earth in the recently-published book, The Advent of Sound in Japanese Cinema: a Handbook.
Your assistance would be, of course, very greatly appreciated.
