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.
