Step into the world of Japanese cinema, where subtle storytelling, beautiful visuals & cultural richness come to life on screen.

πŸ“… Upcoming Dates: 25 July, 29 August, 26 September & 31 October 2025
All ages welcome!
Bring your own movie snacks & settle in for an evening of storytelling that spans from heartfelt dramas to innovative animations & more.
Japanese films are known for their deep emotional resonance, minimalist aesthetics & non-linear narratives. They often tell powerful stories through silence, gesture & what remains unsaid; offering a unique experience unlike typical Western cinema.

Films are shown on a first come, first served basis
All films include English subtitles
Film titles & dates may be subject to change

This is more than just movie night, it's a window into the heart of Japanese culture. Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a whānau outing. We look forward to welcoming you!
