WELCOME Ryan Watt and Miriam Bale welcome you to Photo Credit: Chloe Littlefield the 23rd annual Indie Memphis Film Festival A few months prior to producing my first independent film, my journey with Indie Memphis began in 2008 when I bought a pass to the festival.

ABSTRACT Science and technology have been paramount features of any modernized nation. In Japan they played an important role in the modernization and militarization of the nation, as well as its democratization and subsequent economic growth. Science and technology highlight the promises of a better tomorrow and future utopia, but their application can also present ethical issues. In fiction, they have historically played a significant role. Fictions of science continue to exert power via important multimedia platforms for considerations of the role of science and technology in our world. And, because of their importance for the development, ideologies and policies of any nation, these considerations can be correlated with the deliberation of the role of a nation in the world, including its internal and external images and imaginings.

  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.

Each of the charac- ters is marked by a special trait—Melody plays music, Mac likes to eat, Kung-fu is a martial arts expert, Sweet is very tidy, Fanta daydreams, and Prof is a skillful logician. One by one, the girls encounter possessed objects that become the instruments of their demise. An outlandish and visually stunning spectacle that parodies horror film clichés, Obayashi collaborated with his daughter to create the deranged script, employ- ing many of the techniques he learned through his background in experimental cinema and as an advertisement producer for television.

  • For Your Cultural Life in Hiroshima
    For your cultural life in Hiroshima かき氷 Kakigôri (shaved ice) Ice was once a rare commodity in summer, only available to the aristocracy who could pay for its transport from northern mountain areas. Japanese travelers overseas in the late 19th century discovered ice cream. It was not long before it became possible to produce ice and one of today’s favorite Japanese summer treats – kakigôri, shaved ice. Wherever you go in Japan in summer, you will see small red, white and blue flags bearing the character for ‘ice’ (氷). This may mean that ice-cream is on sale, but there will almost certainly be kakigôri. You will find it at convenience stores (sometimes ready packed), on beaches, and at festivals, and many people make their own at home. It’s very simple dish. Ice is finely shaved using either an old-style hand-cranked machine, rather like a meat mincer, or an electric ice-shaver. Sweet syrup is added to the small mountain of shavings, and it’s eaten with a spoon. Popular flavors include strawberry, melon, grape, lemon, ‘blue Hawaii’, and matcha (green tea). The syrup gradually soaks into shavings as they melt, leaving sweet iced water by the end. Tsubu-an azuki paste from the large kintoki-azuki bean is also sometimes added to make uji-kintoki, with a sprinkling of matcha powder. Condensed milk or ice cream can also be added. (Abstracted from 『ニッポン 風物詩』 p. 199, IBC パブリッシング) Kakigôri used to be a common summer treats which could be prepared cheaply and easily. Recently, however, various types of kakigôri have appeared such as kakigôri which is made with natural ice, Taiwanese- style kakigôri and Korean-style kakigôri, called “patpingsu”.
