Manila, Philippines (March 13, 2025) - The Japan Foundation, Manila presents the JFF Theater website - an exciting new platform for cinephiles both here and abroad can experience the best that Japanese Cinema has to offer FOR FREE!

After the smashing success of the recently-concluded 28th edition of Japanese Film Festival that finally brought the Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One to Philippine shores, multiple sold-out screenings of not just Godzilla but also awards circuit darlings like Perfect Days and all-time classic anime films like Akira proved there was certainly a clamor for more Japan-themed content; and The Japan Foundation is more than happy to heed the call!
