    Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 Jonathan Wroot PhD Thesis Submitted to the University of East Anglia For the qualification of PhD in Film Studies 2013 1 Making Markets for Japanese Cinema: A Study of Distribution Practices for Japanese Films on DVD in the UK from 2008 to 2010 2 Acknowledgements Thanks needed to be expressed to a number of people over the last three years – and I apologise if I forget anyone here. First of all, thank you to Rayna Denison and Keith Johnston for agreeing to oversee this research – which required reining in my enthusiasm as much as attempting to tease it out of me and turn it into coherent writing. Thanks to Mark Jancovich, who helped me get started with the PhD at UEA. A big thank you also to Andrew Kirkham and Adam Torel for doing what they do at 4Digital Asia, Third Window, and their other ventures – if they did not do it, this thesis would not exist. Also, a big thank you to my numerous other friends and family – whose support was invaluable, despite the distance between most of them and Norwich. And finally, the biggest thank you of all goes to Christina, for constantly being there with her support and encouragement. 3 Abstract The thesis will examine how DVD distribution can affect Japanese film dissemination in the UK. The media discourse concerning 4Digital Asia and Third Window proposes that this is the principal factor influencing their films’ presence in the UK from 2008 to 2010.

  • Reviewing Distinctive DVD Experiences: NEO Magazine and the Critical Reception of Asian Media Distributors
    . Volume 12, Issue 1 May 2015 Reviewing distinctive DVD experiences: NEO Magazine and the critical reception of Asian media distributors Jonathan Wroot, University of Worcester, UK Abstract: This article closely analyses the reviews for Asian films from the longest-running UK magazine that specialises in Asian media – NEO. The critical reception of Asian films has been investigated before, but what has not been realised is the significance of the DVD distributors in shaping these reviews. As a result of examining how influential the discs’ labels are on the review content, it becomes clear that the critics in NEO are assessing more than the film itself. The reviewers are evaluating the entire viewing experience that a home media format, such as DVD, can offer. This is important for Asian media as the NEO reviews illustrate how the discs are the primary means of accessing such films for UK audiences. The reviews also suggest that viewers are becoming aware, and have a substantial interest in, how distributors shape their viewing experience. Key words: Asian media, critical reception, distributors, DVD, Japanese films. DVDs are integral to how Asian media texts, such as Japanese films, are made available to UK consumers. Cinema releases and online outlets (via streaming or downloading) have not been consistently profitable practices for distributors that specialise in Asian films and media. Ever since the popularity of Japanese horror films from 2000 onwards, a steady stream of Asian cinema titles have made their way to the UK via DVD. The importance of this format has also been realised by other distributors of other media exports from Japan, such as anime (animation) and manga (comics).

  • Anime Weekend at BFI Southbank with Preview of from up on Poppy Hill
    PRESS RELEASE May 2012 12/32 Anime Weekend at BFI Southbank with preview of From Up on Poppy Hill From June 8 – 10 BFI Southbank will once again hold its biennial weekend showcasing the best in recent anime. Anime is comparatively new to Western audiences – although Japanese animation has existed since the turn of the 20th Century. It was only when films such as Akira (Katsuhiro Otomo, 1988) were released in the late 1980s that the western world sat up and took notice. The Anime weekend at BFI Southbank will be packed with hotly anticipated previews, high-profile Q&As and an eclectic mix of different genres and styles. The weekend will open with a preview of the much anticipated From Up on Poppy Hill (2011), the latest offering from Studio Ghibli. Directed by Goro Miyazaki (son of studio founder and preeminent director Hayao), From Up on Poppy Hill is a timely tale set in rural Yokohama just before the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. A frequent misconception of anime is that it is invariably violent, or only for adults, but titles such as A Letter to Momo (2011) and Oblivion Island (2009) will appeal to audiences of all ages. Also screening will be UK premieres of Full Metal Alchemist 2 (2011) (featuring a Q&A with special guests director Kazuya Murata and producer Masahiko Minami) and The Princess and the Pilot (2011). Also screening will be Gintama: the Movie (2010) and Makoto Shinkai’s (The Place Promised in Our Early Days, 2004) latest film Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below (2011), which firmly moves him from ranking as an up and coming animator to an established director.

    Past, Present and Future: The 30th Anniversary of the Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur Greetings from the Director The Japan Foundation was established in 1972 with the main goal of cultivating friendship and ties between Japan and the world through culture, language, and dialogue. The Kuala Lumpur ofice known as The Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur Liaison Ofice was established at Wisma Nusantara, off Jalan P. Ramlee on 3 October 1989 as the third liaison ofice in SEA countries, following Jakarta and Bangkok. The liaison ofice was upgraded to Japan Cultural Centre Kuala Lumpur with Prince Takamado attending the opening ceremony on 14 February 1992. Japanese Language Centre Kuala Lumpur was then opened at Wisma Nusantara on 20 April 1995. In July 1998, the ofice moved to Menara Citibank, Jalan Ampang and then once more to our current ofice in Northpoint, Mid-Valley in September 2008. Since the establishment, the Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) has been working on various projects such as introducing Japanese arts and culture to Malaysia and vice versa. JFKL has also closely worked with the Ministry of Education to form a solid foundation of Japanese Language Education especially in Malaysian secondary schools and conducted various seminars and trainings for local Japanese teachers. We have also been supporting Japanese studies and promoting dialogues on common international issues. The past 30 years have deinitely been a long yet memorable journey in bringing the cultures of the two countries together. The cultural exchange with Malaysia has become more signiicant and crucial as Japan heads towards a multi-cultural society and there is a lot to learn from Malaysia.

  • Wolf Children
    PRESENTS WOLF CHILDREN A MAMORU HOSODA FILM Running time: 117 minutes Certificate: TBC Opens at UK cinemas on 25th October Press Contacts Elle McAtamney – [email protected] For hi-res images/production notes and more, go to – www.fetch.fm To the children, a movie like a delightful, fun fairy tale… To the youth, to make raising children, which they have yet to experience, seem full of surprises and wonder… And to the parents, to let them reminisce about their children’s growth… I am striving to make an invigorating movie that satisfies the principles of entertainment. Mamoru Hosoda Director, screenwriter, author of original story INTRODUCTION The long-awaited new film by Director Mamoru Hosoda! Yet another movie that enthralls people of all generations!! In “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” (2006), he depicted the radiance of youth in flashing moments of life. In “SUMMER WARS” (2009), he told a story about a miracle, of how the bond between people saved Earth’s crisis, and the film swept awards domestic and abroad. Mamoru Hosoda has become the most noted animation director in the world. Why do his works appeal to people of all generations? His stories are not about the extraordinary, and they are not about superheroes. Set in towns that could really exist, the main characters are surrounded by ordinary people and are troubled by slightly unique circumstances, which they struggle to overcome. Based on well-thought-out scenarios, these real-to-life stories are made into dynamic animation. That’s why the main characters seem so familiar to us and draw our sympathy, and we get excited watching how they fare.
