| book description |

This is the first academic book to provide a comprehensive survey of the work of Haneda Sumiko (1926-), the first woman to regularly direct documentaries in postwar Japan, by examining her major documentaries amongst the extensive filmography she developed over sixty years. Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplinesâ€”including film studies, gender studies, art history, eco-criticism, and aging studiesâ€”this volume explores Hanedaâ€™s depiction of critical issues in Japanese society, culture, history, and nature. It showcases how her cinema provides a personal and reflective view on Japanâ€™s drastic transformations of the twentieth century, while her career also bore witness to changes taking place in the national cinema industry. It thus situates Hanedaâ€™s oeuvre within the history of Japanese non-fiction film whilst offering new perspectives on questions of authorship and representation. Collectively, the chapters in this book make a case for Haneda to be recognised as a key figure in Japanâ€™s postwar documentary scene. Bridging gaps in research on both documentary studies and women filmmakers, this will be a valuable resource to scholars and students of film studies, Japanese studies, gender studies and art history, as well as to film curators and programmers.
