Iwanami Hall, Independent cinema in Jinbocho, Tokyo, Japan.

The Iwanami Hall contains 220 seats and functions as a multipurpose venue for film screenings in central Tokyo's publishing district.

Founded in 1968 by Iwanami Shoten publishing company, the theater initiated the Equipe du Cinema movement in 1974 to introduce foreign films to Japanese audiences.

The cinema has presented 274 films from 66 countries, including works by directors Satyajit Ray, Theo Angelopoulos, and Andrzej Wajda.

The theater maintains regular screenings of international films with Japanese subtitles and provides online ticket reservations for upcoming shows.

The venue closed in 2022 after its final screening of 'The Songlines', marking the end of a 54-year legacy of specialized film distribution in Tokyo.
