Just to let everyone know, but the people at Kinema Club--an organization of Japanese film scholars--are discussing holding some sessions in place of SCMS for those who will be in Tokyo no matter what. Whether we can manage to find places to hold sessions is not certain, but if there is anyone out there who is interested, I would like to hear about it. Please send me an individual e-mail as soon as you can. If there are other groups trying to organize alternative meetings, it might be good to coordinate efforts, so I'd like to hear from them as well.
