Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Japanese term "gentou" (originally a translation of the English "magic lantern") means the projection system enlarging and projecting still images onto a large screen. Most studies argue that these still-image projection media declined in the early twentieth century Japan with the arrival of the motion picture. So there were few studies on the post-cinematic gentou history in Japan. However, in this research project, we tried to shed light on the revival and redevelopment of gentou in mid-twentieth-century Japan, focusing on gentou in the post-war social movements. We discovered several gentou films and scripts used in various post war social movements, including labor disputes, social welfare movements, and so on. We did interviews people involved in gentou movements or their families, and clarified several unknown facts about production, distribution, and screening gentou in 1950s social movements. We also restored several important gentou films and showed them to the public.
