International Education Week
– Engaged – Resilient – Global –
International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of nationwide efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
University of Idaho celebrates and honors our international students, scholars and professors from other nations and international experiences that our faculty, staff and students engage in each year.

Considering the role of cinema in Japanese counterculture, this paper focuses on a site-specific movement and its spectators: the Art Theater Guild (ATG) and cinephile culture in 1960s Shinjuku. Introducing its bulletin, Art Theater, Dr. Kaminishi will reframe ATG, an independent distribution company of western art films and later production company of low-budget art films, as a participatory counterculture movement supported by theater managers, friendship association members and rootless youth spectators wandering around Shinjuku.
