However, scholars often neglect the fact that official home video or streaming releases of a film can have differences from theoriginal version of the film itself. Such variances typically are lack of film grain (resulting from digital noise reduction), differences in color grading, and soundtrack remixing. This can depend on the fact that the technicians who work on home video releases are unprepared, or are instructed to adjust the look and the sound of the film to the current taste, or because the filmmakers changed their mind and requested some modifications. Atany rate, film scholars must be aware of such possible inconsistencies, otherwise their study could be fallacious. In this article I discuss upon philological problems of home video releases mainly from a practical point of view. Keywords: Blu-ray Disc; DVD; film fandom; film philology; film restoration.

    History and Ethics of Film Restoration by Jeffrey Lauber a Thesis

    History and Ethics of Film Restoration by Jeffrey Lauber A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program Department of Cinema Studies New York University May 2019 ii ABSTRACT Film restoration and its products have been subjects of scrutiny and debate since the dawn of the practice. The process inherently bears an innumerable quantity of unresolvable uncertainties, a characteristic which has sparked discussions amongst archivists, restorers, scholars, critics, and audiences alike about the ethical implications of restoring motion pictures. This thesis contends that it would be both impractical and unproductive to impose a rigid set of ethical principles on a practice which so inevitably relies on subjectivity. Instead, it devises a more holistic understanding of film restoration practice and ethics to work towards a conceptual framework for film restoration ethics. Drawing from theoretical discourse and real-world case studies, this thesis examines the ways in which restorers have confronted and mitigated uncertainties in their work, and explores the ethical implications of their decisions. As an understanding of the philosophical and economic motivations behind film restoration provides essential foundational knowledge for understanding the evolution of its ethical discourse, the thesis begins by charting a contextual history of the practice before exploring the discourse and its core ethical concerns. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements

    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.

    EITHER 'SHINING WHITE OR BLACKEST BLACK': GREY MORALITY OF THE COLONIZED SUBJECT IN POSTWAR JAPANESE CINEMA AND CONTEMPORARY MANGA Elena M. Aponte A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2017 Committee: Khani Begum, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2017 Elena M. Aponte All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Khani Begum, Advisor The cultural and political relationship between Japan and the United States is often praised for its equity, collaboration, and mutual respect. To many, the alliance between Japan and the United States serves as a testament for overcoming a violent and antagonistic past. However, the impact of the United States occupation and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is rarely discussed in light of this alliance. The economic revival, while important to Japan’s reentry into the global market, inevitably obscured continuing paternalistic interactions between Japan and the United States. Using postcolonial theory from Homi K. Bhahba, Frantz Fanon, and Hiroshi Yoshioka as a foundation, this study examines the ways Japan was colonized during and after the seven-year occupation by the United States. The following is a close assessment of two texts and their political significance at two specific points in history. Akira Kurosawa's1948 noir film Drunken Angel (Yoidore Tenshi) shaped the identity of postwar Japan; Yasuhiro Nightow’s Trigun manga series navigates cultural amnesia and American exceptionalism during the 1990s after the Bubble Economy fell into recession in 1995. These texts are worthy of simultaneous assessment because of the ways they incorporate American archetypes, iconography, and themes into their work while still adhering to Japanese cultural concerns.

Many distinguished scholars have elaborated on different facets of these far-reaching changes.3 Apart from these important forays, many discussions of the ongoing transformations of moving image culture focus either on the novelty of the latest equipment or on the synergistic power of industry — both technological and economic perspectives are perfectly valid, but nevertheless limit the scope of inquiry in problematic ways. Whereas the currently emerging con- figurations of audiovisualcy in the age of digital networks are often addressed in terms of absolute novelty and innovation I want to shift the focus slightly, articulating instead the new in terms of the old.4 This essay therefore proposes the argument that it was within the Nouvelle Vague and the French film culture of the 1960s that the DVD was “invented”.

As Oedipa Maas begins to explore the potential existence of a secret mail system known as Tristero, she writes underneath the Tristero horn that she has copied off of a bathroom wall, “Shall I project a world?” (65). Here, Oedipa is contemplating the possible existence of an entire other pattern of reality of which she (and most of the world) remains unaware.
