NEW E-MAIL DISCUSSION LIST:
 
KINEJAPAN
 
A DISCUSSION LIST FOR JAPANESE FILM AND IMAGE STUDIES
 
The members of Kinema Club
(http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu/Markus/Welcome.html), the internet's
only site devoted to the study of Japanese film and moving image media,
are pleased to announce the inauguration of KINEJAPAN, the first e-mail
list of its kind specializing in discussions on Japanese cinema and other
image media.
 
Anyone interested in Japanese moving image media, from scholars to film
fans, is welcome to join KineJapan and participate in our talks.
Anything related to Japanese image media is open to discussion: feature
film, television, magic lanterns, anime, documentary, experimental film
and video, as well as the social, economic, and historical factors that
are deeply intertwined with these media.  (For those only interested in
discussing anime, however, we remind you that there are already lists
devoted to that.)  We also encourage the posting of announcements about
new films, conferences, publications, film festivals, and other events
relating to Japanese image media that might be of interest to our
subscribers.
 
KineJapan is a discussion group with members from countries all over the
world.  While most of the discussion will be in English, we welcome
postings by subscribers in their native tongues and in particular
encourage Japanese subscribers to post in Japanese if that is what feels
most comfortable.
 
KineJapan is an unmoderated list, which means we leave it up to
subscribers to moderate themselves.  In the end, we conceive of all
subscribers as fellow scholars working together to achieve a greater
understanding of Japanese film and image culture.  With recent triumphs
at Cannes and other international film festivals, Japanese film is again
becoming the center of international attention.  We hope KineJapan will
become an important means of understanding such new works and their
predecessors as well as their their place in Japan, Asia, and the world.

Kinema Club was formed several years ago with the goal of providing
greater access to information on Japanese film and moving image media.
The site already contains an extensive bibliography of non-Japanese
writings on Japanese film, reviews of recent Japanese films, a list of
currently rentable 16mm films, guides to internet resources for Japanese
cinema, and other resources.  We are also looking for members who are
willing to help us expand and up-date the site.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the list owner:
