JAPAN CUTS—the largest Japanese film festival in North America—is back from through July 20 at Japan Society.
See major premieres or check out their other 30+ films across 11 days. If you like seeing major blockbuster films, supporting up-and-coming filmmakers, weeping over indie films, or checking out documentaries (or anime, experimental and short films, or restorations, they really do have it all), browse their lineup and secure yourself a ticket before it’s too late.
Among the festival’s lineup is a special screening of Yasuhiro Aoki's ChaO in collaboration with GKIDS and the presentation of the 2025 CUT ABOVE Award to Kiyoshi Kurosawa. And don't miss the North American Premiere of A Girl Named Ann, the U.S. Premiere of She Taught Me Serendipity, along with a special appearance from Japan Academy Film Prize Best Actress Winner, Yuumi Kawai.
