JFTFP25: Ichiko + Director Q&ACert-TBC
When Kawabe Ichiko accepts her boyfriend Hasegawa’s marriage proposal, everything seems perfect. But the next day, Ichiko vanishes without a trace. Desperate, Hasegawa contacts the police—only to discover that there is no record of Ichiko ever existing. Who is she, and where has she gone? As Hasegawa digs into her past, he uncovers a series of heartbreaking revelations about Ichiko’s life, exposing the extent of her suffering. Adapted from director Toda Akihiro’s acclaimed stage play, Ichiko is a powerful exploration of poverty, abuse, and the flaws in Japan’s family register system.
Join us for the launch of our The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2025 season, featuring a post-screening Q&A the film’s director TODA Akihiro.

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!
