A place worth knowing

The National Film Archive of Japan brings screenings, exhibitions and a specialist library together around film preservation and research. Its programme spans retrospectives, festival selections and opportunities to see Japanese film history through the archive’s collections.

Choose a screening before planning the visit, then see whether an exhibition fits around it. The screening halls, gallery and library have separate schedules, so one ticket or opening time should not be assumed to cover everything.
