Mission
COLLABORATIVE CATALOGING JAPAN (CCJ) IS AN INTERNATIONAL, 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO PRESERVING, DOCUMENTING, AND DISSEMINATING THE LEGACY OF JAPANESE EXPERIMENTAL MOVING IMAGE MADE IN 1950S-1980S, IN ORDER TO ENABLE THEIR APPRECIATION BY A WIDER AUDIENCE. CCJ AIMS TO STRENGTHEN THE SUPPORTING ECOLOGY FOR PRESERVATION AND DISSEMINATION BY OFFERING PUBLIC EVENTS, RESEARCH AND PRESERVATION INITIATIVES, AND DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION OF WORKS ON DIGITAL PLATFORM. WITHOUT THIS EFFORT, THIS UNIQUE SECTOR OF JAPANESE CULTURAL HERITAGE, WHICH HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN UNDERREPRESENTED AND UNSUPPORTED, WOULD REMAIN AVAILABLE TO ONLY A VERY FEW. BURIED IN ARTISTS' STUDIOS OR INDEPENDENT ARCHIVES, MANY WORKS ARE IN DANGER OF LITERAL DISAPPEARANCE AS FILM AND VIDEO MEDIUMS CONTINUE.
Program accomplishments
- Digital Publishing: One of the missions of CCJ is to offer access to research resources about Japanese experimental moving image. In the "Database" project, CCJ imagines a web platform that acts as a portal to existing institutional collection information, and provides descriptive information about the works, the artists, and the historical contexts, as well as archival materials, interviews, and essays. In 2024, CCJ continued to work on revamping the current viewing platform, which will include enhanced, user-friendly modules for university teaching and research purposes.Expenses $9,605 · grants $9,605
