Since 2004, the Japan Foundation, London has been organising an annual Japanese film programme in close partnership with distinguished film venues and programme advisors in the UK. Each year, from recently released contemporary films to classics and anime, the Japan Foundation showcase a selection of titles which otherwise do not have an opportunity to be screened in the UK. These titles are curated under a carefully chosen theme to highlight trends in Japanese cinema and showcase the versatility and uniqueness displayed by its filmmakers. This year the theme is ‘Unforgettable: Memories, Times and Reflections in Japanese Cinema’.
As part of this year’s UK tour, the UPP is showing four titles over four weeks in March: award-winning psychological thriller A Man (Wed 6 Mar 6pm); sci-fi comedy Mondays: See You ‘This’ Week! (Wed 13 Mar 8.30pm); bittersweet drama Ripples (Wed 20 Mar 6pm); and Hideo Jojo’s heartfelt tribute to independent cinemas Twilight Cinema Blues (Wed 27 Mar 8.30pm).
Want to see all four films for the price of three? Use the booking link on this page to purchase one of our limited festival passes. Tickets to individual screenings are also available.
These screenings are part of the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2024.

Plan your visit
Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
