Re: [Frameworks] Japanese underground cult cinema

[Jonathan Walley]

Hi Jamie,

Julian’s work on Japanese avant-garde cinema is indeed terrific - really a 
breakthrough for Western (non-Japanese speaking) scholars. You can find his 
work online pretty easily, I think.

If, on the other hand, you have films like Tetsuo in mind - directors like 
Shinya Tsukamoto and Sogo Ishii - you might look at some of Tony Rayns’ 
writings. He was writing about that work in the early ‘80s as it was emerging. 
I would also highly recommend: http://www.midnighteye.com/. It covers a wide 
variety of Japanese cinema, but really favors the cult stuff. Some of this 
work, especially Tsukamoto’s, had it’s origins in 8mm independent filmmaking 
and live performance.

I have a lot of material on this, from research I did back in the day as a grad 
student. It’s not immediately to hand, however. I can dig it out in the next 
week and send you some more info, if you remind me.

Best,
Jonathan

[Frameworks] Japanese underground cult cinema

[Jamie Cleeland]

Hello, 
I am looking to find academic writing on the history of Japanese underground 
cult cinema.  Ideally, writing that places modern Japanese underground movies 
in relation to a larger historic context, one that includes performance 
theatre.   Any pointers?
