Theatre Image Forum

Fans of artistic and experimental film will love this cinema in Shibuya with an exposed concrete exterior. Whether it’s shorts, feature-length films, or animations, you can experience the latest domestic and international experimental trends here. They also run one of the largest annual visual-art festivals in Japan, Image Forum Festival. They are also a distributor of magazines, books, and videos like The Angel, a hard-to-find 1982 French experimental art film directed by Patrick Bokanowski that is definitely worth seeking out! You’ll find movie flyers all up the stairs, making it a great place to learn what’s showing around town.
