You could choose from the following 2 options; format free; use Oxford University Press (HUMSOC) for annotations

1)    Write a 400-word film review about an Asian film you have recently watched (please offer date of viewing/cinema theater’s name etc.); could be one from/for our class too;

2)    write a 400-word report on a film event in town=Nagoya (like a film festival, special screening event etc.), please also offer details of the event (better with a link of the event info attached).

 Due Date: July 17^th/Wed, 5pm/Earlier submission is possible

Please make sure you talk to the teacher regarding other options; also check our blog for my updates on (free) events in/outside of Nagoya.  Please try your best to attend actual event(s).

Reference for your film review could be this one that I shared earlier in this semester:

Corrigan, Timothy. A Short Guide to Writing About Film. 9th. ed. New York: Longman 2014

Nagoya’s Mini-Theaters (arthouse/second-round; mostly with NO English-subtitle when showing Japanese films)

1.     Nagoya Cinematique 名古屋シネマテーク (http://cineaste.jp/) : they have a great collection of film magazines too (in English, French and Japanese and more); a tiny library from which you could access lots of unthinkable documents. Strongly recommend.

2.    Cinema Skhole シネマスコーレ (established by Wakamatsu Koji; http://www.cinemaskhole.co.jp/)

3.      Meien Cinesalon 名演小劇場 (http://meien.movie.coocan.jp/)

4.Slightly more comfortable cinemas for viewing new art films

Please submit the Journal to the lecturer’s email address maran@nagoya-u.jp with the subject “Take Home Project ACH”. The Word file should contain “ACH” + the student’s name in its file name. I’d send out confirmation email once your assignment is received. Late submission is not accepted unless emergency happens.
