Option 1

 * Article title
 * Modern Japanese Female Directors


 * Article Evaluation
 * Focuses on many Japanese women film creators and their push against gender norms and manhood. More specifically looking at Tanada Yuki- "Tanada does at least aim towards an exploration of the difficulty of women in defining a space for themselves as distinct from the men around them. The young female protagonists of her films Moon and Cherry (Tsuki to Cherī, 2004) and One Million Yen Girl (Hyakuman-en to nigamushi onna, 2008) retain narrative agency and manage ultimately to live their lives on their own terms, to find an apparently personally fulfilling route to an autonomous female selfhood, even though this is frequently problematic."

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Yuki Tanada Interview: “I think there is a huge struggle for filmmakers right now, that we don’t have the middle ground”


 * Article Evaluation
 * Another interview of her struggles and what it is like working in the Japanese film industry. She states two divides: "one is a huge industry with mega budgets, and the other is a small one with minor budgets to create the films, so there is no middle ground there right now." The struggle of the middle ground in society pushes people to either go one way or another and is a problematic issue that is undermined in the film industry.
