	EH.Net Encyclopedia: The Economic History of the International Film Industry
		In the depression-struck U.S., film was the tenth most profitable industry, and in 1930s France it was the fastest-growing industry, followed by paper and electricity, while in Britain the number of cinema-tickets sold rose to almost one billion a year (Bakker 2001b).
		It is instrumental in the smooth rolling of the film, and in the correcting of the lens for the space between the exposures (Michaelis 1958; Musser 1990: 65-67; Low and Manvell 1948).
		This suggests that sound film did not have a large influence, and that the share of U.S. films was mainly brought down by the introduction of the Cinematograph Films Act in 1927, which set quotas for British films.

	History of the Internet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japan, which had built the UUCP-based network JUNET in 1984, connected to NSFNet in 1989.
		Since at this point in history most of the growth on the Internet was coming from non-military sources, it was decided that the Department of Defense would no longer fund registration services outside of the.mil TLD.
		Although the history is unclear, among the first systems to have such a facility were SDC's Q32 and MIT's CTSS.

	Film noir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key fl-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography, while many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression.
		Film noirs embrace a variety of genres, from the gangster film to the police procedural to the so-called social problem picture, and evidence a variety of visual approaches, from meat-and-potatoes Hollywood mainstream to outré.
		The makers of film noir turned all this on its head, creating bleak, sophisticated dramas tinged with mistrust, cynicism, and a sense of the absurd, in settings that were frequently either real-life urban or budget-saving minimalist, with often strikingly expressionist lighting and unsettling techniques such as wildly skewed camera angles and convoluted flashbacks.

	Cinema of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Japanese performer to appear in a film professionally was the dancer/actress Tokuko Nagai Takagi, who appeared in four shorts for the American-based Thanhouser Company between 1911 and 1914 (source).
		A study of the "gendaigeki" (contemporary/modern film drama) and writing for film in Japan in the 1910s to early 1920s, with select translations of scripts (complete as well as excerpts) is available in "Writing in Light: The Silent Scenario and the Japanese Pure Film Movement" (Joanne Bernardi, Wayne State University Press, 2001).
		Staunchly anti-censorship, he insisted that the film would contain hardcore pornographic material; as a result the exposed film must be shipped to France for processing, and an uncut version of the film has still, to this day, never been shown in Japan.

	Intersections: Feminist History in Japan: National and International Perspectives
		In this initial phase of women's history research, interest in forms of marriage and in the subjects of matriarchy and matrilineality in Japan was generally characterised by the influence of translations of Morgan and Engels.
		Women's history that is also concerned with Asia and relationships of exchange between Japan and Asia, such as the work of Yamazaki Tomoko in her publications since the end of the 1960s, is rarely seen.
		She conceived women's history as science, and central to her studies was the conviction that women have been and are a historical force in all periods.

	One hundred Years of Film Sizes. Almost one hundred film widths and perforations were experimented with.
		Whereas film equipment has undergone drastic changes in the course of a century it is a little miracle that 35mm has remained the universally accepted film size.
		Films from 10 to 15 meter lengths in special containers were for rent from Edison depots or by mail.
		An optimum use of the film width was obtained by expanding the image and reducing the size of the perforations on both sides.

		Finally, the Japanese press arrived, and Japan were just what they were looking for; Queen were the biggest foreign group in Japan and at the time of "Adolescent Sex" they had a lot in common, not least a glamorous rock image and a great guitar and synth sound.
		Japan's first album had been slammed in the press, but a few more positive noises were being made by the time of the second album "Obscure Alternatives" in October 1978.
		Japan were seen as a major influence; tracks like "Life In Tokyo" and "Quiet Life" were popular in discos and it looked like Virgin would be able to crack the group in the UK.

		Film and lenses were improved to utilize small formats, prompted by the needs of the new movie industry.
		Panchromatic film became freely available, and Kodachrome was sold by Eastman Kodak from 1936.
		Perhaps as a reaction to the automation and electronic aspects of contemporary photography, some photographers have a more contemplative approach, using large format cameras, the skills of hand printing, and older processes so that their photography still retains contact with its origins.

		There's an interesting observation by Andre Bazin, who saw film as the asymptote to reality, the imaginary line that nears but never touches reality, which if put into conjunction into the earlier definition of film being something that can't be explained.

	HISTORY OF JAPAN: FILM ASSIGNMENT
		The Japanese burst onto the international film scene in the early 1950s when the works of movie directors Mizoguchi Kenji (1898 - 1956), Ozu Yasujiro (1903 - 1963) and Kurosawa Akira (1910 - 1998) first came to the world's attention.
		A number of the films by these four directors particularly (as well as others mentioned in the list below) are worth viewing as historical resources valuable for the insights they provide into the Japanese view of themselves, their present and their past.
