Mixed Cinema – Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Approaches to Japanese Cinema

The mixed cinema network will look at cinema as a fundamentally interdisciplinary area of study. By addressing Japanese cinema through its interdisciplinary and intercultural elements, this network will constitute a novel approach which will tackle the complexities of intermingled identities, aesthetics and social concerns cinema can reflect in a multiple world.

The Network will address the following topics

  • artistic and intercultural dialogue in the Japanese New Wave

  • Japanese widescreen cinema

  • Cinema and Japanese modernity

It is anticipated this network will enhance the work of those involved enabling them to secure further funding for interdisciplinary research in the expanding areas of Japanese and world cinema studies.
