Black Box Diaries (2024, 103 minutes)Screening followed by discussion with filmmaker Shiori ItōFriday, September 26, 6:00pmMichelson Theater, 721 Broadway, 6th FloorIn 2017, Japanese journalist Shiori Itō publicly accused a prominent media executive (and associate of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe) of rape, and published a bestselling memoir detailing her case — Black Box, a book credited with sparking the #MeToo movement in Japan. Black Box Diaries is a survivor’s real-time investigation of her own sexual assault — and includes raw video diaries (shot on Itō’s iPhone), surreptitious audio recordings of police negligence, and vérité courtroom footage. Itō documents her courageous struggle to navigate Japan’s patriarchal judiciary and antiquated sex crimes laws (proven lack of consent was insufficient) and quest for justice. Co-sponsored by NYU’s Department of East Asian Studies and the Asian Film &amp; Media Initiative in the Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies. This is an in-person event, open to the public. Prior registration is required. Non-NYU attendees will receive emailed instructions for building access and may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID upon arrival. NYU attendees must present their NYU ID.
