This journal focuses on cinematic production as a social and political expression, particularly in Japan during the "Japanese long 1968" period (roughly 1966-1972). It examines how filmmakers responded to and intervened in socio-political unrest, including student protests, anti-war movements, and critiques of consumerism. The journal also explores themes of visual humor, comedic performativity, and the influence of counterculture and psychedelic movements on filmmaking.
