Tang Li http://guides.library.yale.edu/content.php?pid=146609&sid=1815960) has been established in Manuscripts and Archives, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University, and the finding aid for this collection is now available. About the collection: Japanese Film Ephemera Collection was initiated by Professor Aaron Gerow, a faculty member of the Film Studies Program and the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale University, and the finding aid was compiled by Takuya Tsunoda, a PhD student at Yale University. The materials were collected by Aaron Gerow and also supported by donations. Its main contents are handbills (chirashi), press kits, theater pamphlets, and film newsletters, as well as catalogs, and date from approximately 1970 to the present. Most are in Japanese, with some English-language publicity materials. The collection, which is still expanding, currently covers over 600 contemporary Japanese directors and their films along with major film festivals and film events in Japan. It offers a comprehensive resource for researchers investigating the breadth of contemporary Japanese film and visual culture or those studying individual films and filmmakers. The collected materials broadly document the great diversity in contemporary Japanese film and its culture and represent types of materials often overlooked by academic collections and archives. Therefore, researchers with a broad range of interests, especially Film and Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, Journalism, Sociology, and Art History, may be interested in the collection.
