Open air cinema at the Tokyo National Museum

For one weekend in September, you’ll get to watch a flick on a breezy summer night in the beautiful courtyard of the Tokyo National Museum – all with food carts and craft beer to hand. This year the museum will collaborate with mobile movie theatre Kino Iglu to screen the 2016 hit anime ‘In This Corner of the World’. Directed by Sunao Katabuchi, the critically acclaimed film tells the story of Suzu, a spirited 18-year-old girl who, after getting married, has to endure the hardships of life during World War II in Hiroshima. The film is noted for its soft palette and personal, romantic tone despite being set in a very trying time in human history.
