Koenji Cinema Club

Join the Koenji Cinema Club at The Den for a unique and unexpected independent or world cinema film in English or with English subtitles which is usually hard to watch on a big screen in Japan.

Our 6th edition will be held on Friday, February 13th at 7PM for a Thai film that moves like a stray thought, light, erratic, and oddly charming, circling everyday moments until they begin to feel slightly off.

We'd like to make the emphasis more on the event experience rather than the movie itself, encouraging everyone to attend the film without learning too much about it beforehand in order to go in somewhat blind and unbiased, placing more significance on the pre-screening mingling and post-screening discussion with other audience members over a beer or soft drink.

So come on down, sip on craft beer, and mingle with fellow film enthusiasts as we delve into the artistry, creativity, and unique perspectives of movies that are often difficult to watch in Japan.

Whether you are a seasoned cinephile or simply looking to broaden your cinematic horizons, this is a chance to explore films in a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere.

Open: 7:00 PM
Start: 7:30 PM
Discussion: 9:30-11:00 PM

If you’d like to just watch the film and sneak out afterward, that’s alright too!

Address: 4-25-8 Koenjiminami 2/3F. The Den is located 2 minutes from Koenji Station (JR Chuo/Sobu line). Take the south exit, cross the street, and it's on the right side of the small alley, which is on the other side of the PAL 'shotengai' shopping street.
