The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2025 Am I Right? Justice, Justification and Judgement in Japanese Cinema

The UK’s largest festival of Japanese cinema, the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme (JFTFP), returns with its most exciting edition yet! In a world where injustice is widespread, films exploring justice offer endless narratives—heroes confront evil, seek revenge, and reflect the struggles of audiences. JFTFP25 showcases how Japanese filmmakers use cinema to explore themes of criminal, social, and moral justice, and the responses to external judgment. From thought-provoking gems to laugh-out-loud comedies, this year’s festival invites UK audiences to question justice, justification, and judgment in today’s shifting world.

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!
