| Outline of Research at the Start |
The Narutaki group consisted of eight young directors and scriptwriters, working in Kyoto in the 1930s. Their stylistic and topical innovation of jidaigeki helped shape Japanese filmmaking. This research recovers their work but also considers their relationship to global collaborative filmmaking.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research period laid some important groundwork in terms of approach and methodology. I identified a crucial archive with resources that helped me to reformulate the original idea. Beyond focus on members of the film world alone (scriptwriters and directors of the Narutaki group), I found evidence for the crucial collaboration beyond their immediate field, such as actors, musicians, novelists, industrialists etc. In order to gain an overview of the various relations and then and future impacts, I joined a relational database project (Japan Biographical Database) and have started a relevant database. The networks and connections, to me, provide a much-improved understanding of the conditions under which these people created their films rather than auteur-centred approaches or ones limited to the film industry itself. I also presented and published the findings so far.
|
| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This research is significant in that it puts into view the crucial early timeframe of Japanese film productions beyond auteurs. It focuses on the inherently collaborative nature and the networks beyond the film world. These aspects continued to impact the Japanese cinema well beyond this timeframe.
