Description

Explore the complex relationship between cinema and the state in this historical study from the University of Wisconsin Press. The Imperial Screen examines how film functioned as a tool in Japan from the late 1920s through the end of World War II. This book provides a detailed account of the realities of cultural life during a period of intense mobilization. Readers will learn about the collaboration between directors, scriptwriters, company officials, and government bureaucrats to produce films that supported the war effort. By viewing the film industry as a microcosm of Japanese wartime culture, the text explores what happens when artists and intellectuals become part of a totalitarian regime. This work is an essential resource for those studying film history, wartime Japan, and the impact of political systems on creative industries.
