This advanced course (for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students) is one of its kind among English-taught programs in Japan and Asia in critically examining the historical contexts, analytical frameworks, and methods in the transdisciplinary field of film festival studies, emphatically leveraging what Chen Kuan-hsing has advocated as “Asia as Method.” We do not want to exclude any students who use Japanese as their primary language for research and study from this exciting journey, and we do hope you can be confident with yourself and give it a try!
