21st Century Japan at Riverside Studios is a bold and exciting new programming strand that brings new Japanese feature films that missed out on a full UK theatrical release exclusively to our cinema.
Each film will be carefully chosen by Japanese curator Kano Yoshizawa.
We are delighted that our friends at The Sake Collective will have a selection of fine sake to sample in the foyer from 17:30 before the film starts at 18:00, with each bottle chosen to suit the mood and themes of the film. Ticketholders who purchase the full price ticket option can enjoy a sampling from each bottle complimentary. Bottles of the sake can also be purchased from The Sake Collective during the evening.

WORLDS APART (Ikoku Nikki):
After her parents died in a car crash, Asa is taken in by Makio, a reclusive novelist and the estranged sister of Asa’s mother. The two gradually warm up to each other as unlikely roommates, but Asa struggles with growing pains and finding the true reason behind Makio’s hatred of her mother. Emphasising character growth and relationship dynamics rather than melodrama over trauma, this story of female camaraderie is told with a delicate touch and humorous charm, helped greatly by the screen chemistry between Aragaki Yui and newcomer Hayase Ikoi.
