As a Gen Z scholar examining the sensory turn in East Asian art cinema, I’m grateful to contribute to a journal that has shaped cross-generational dialogues in modern Chinese cultural studies.

Also can’t wait to take in the festival itself—the world’s largest showcase of contemporary Japanese cinema.

While I have opted not to travel to Chicago on this occasion, an eponymous article will be published in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture later this year.

Huge thanks to our organisers Gerui Wang and @miguelnovelo, and our discussant @shanedenson for shaping this conversation. Looking forward to seeing you there!
