Advance your cinematic education at the Athénée Français Cultural Center near Suidobashi Station, where 13 classics of film will be screened in double bill form over five days. Aiming to further public understanding of cinema and the history of the artform, the centre is showing landmark flicks such as Orson Welles's Citizen Kane, John Grierson's silent 1929 documentary Drifters and DW Griffith's Judith of Bethulia (1914) alongside more questionable fare, including infamous 1918 WWI propaganda piece Hearts of the World. All in all, the programme should make for a worthy introduction to the world of pre-WWII Western cinema.
