Dear all,
I hope this finds you well. This is Irene González-López, from Birkbeck.
As you may know, documentary filmmaker *Haneda Sumiko* turned 100 years old
this January. To commemorate her anniversary, I am organising together with
Alejandra Armendáriz-Hernández and Marcos Centeno an (in-person) *event in
London next May 5th*: Japan in Transition: The Documentary Cinema of Haneda
Sumiko

(Birkeck,
University of London). We will be showing clips from her films and
discussing Haneda's films with Prof. Lola Martinez. Please come if you are
around!
We'll also introduce our upcoming co-edited volume, *The Documentary Cinema
of Haneda Sumiko: Japan in Transition through Gender, Arts, Nature and
Society
