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 disciplines--including film studies, gender studies, art history, eco-criticism, and aging studies--this volume explores Haneda's depiction of critical issues in Japanese society, culture, history, and nature. It showcases how her cinema provides a personal and reflective view on Japan'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 Haneda'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 Japan'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.

Marcos Centeno-Martin is Associate Professor in Film and Media and Japanese Studies at the University of Valencia, Spain, and Research Associate for the Japan Research Centre at SOAS, UK.
