Name: Japanese Film Club Presents - Battle Royale 4K 25th Anniversary Screening
Start: 2025-09-13T19:15:00.000Z
Location: The Rio Cinema

A class of Japanese high school students are forced to participate in a government-mandated death game on a deserted island, where they must kill each other until only one remains...

Japanese Film Club returns to the Rio for a special 25th anniversary screening of the brutal and bloody, BATTLE ROYAL. Described by Quentin Tarantino as his favourite film of this century, we expect this to be another sell-out event.

BATTLE ROYAL is shown in Japanese, with English subtitles.

### Welcome To Japanese Film Club!

I’m Will, and Japanese Film Club started as a fun idea to get some friends together regularly to watch films in the cinema. I lived in Japan for 8 years and own [www.madegood.com](https://www.madegood.com/ "https://www.madegood.com/"), a distribution company that specialises in screening documentary films in cinemas and online to Japanese audiences.

This summer (2025) I decided it would be fun to show some Japanese films in London, thinking my love for Japanese cinema was pretty niche and it would be a cool little side project. But I have been blown away by the response so far. We opened to a full house with Tampopo at The Rio Cinema in Dalston in June, and followed that up with another sold out screening of Gaea Girls last week – a documentary film about 90’s Japanese female pro-wrestling.

I don’t claim to be an ‘expert’ in Japanese cinema, but I’ve watched a lot of it and I know what I like! I’m going to continue to pick films that I like, invite guests I think are interesting, and hopefully give you a reason get out of the house for a few hours and watch some films with me. If you have something you’d like to see on the big screen, please [send me a message](https://japanesefilm.club/contact/ "https://japanesefilm.club/contact/") or come and have a chat with me at the next screening. I’d love to hear from all of you, so don’t be shy! There are no real rules to what we can show, and everyone is welcome.

Remember to sign up to the newsletter and follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/japanesefilmclub/ "https://www.instagram.com/japanesefilmclub/") and [Twitter](https://x.com/japanesefilmc "https://x.com/japanesefilmc") for the latest news. Hopefully see you at the next one!
