Please Respond, Cotton Town will be screened in Joetsu, Niigata, starting Saturday, November 1. The venue is the legendary Takada Sekaikan—one of Japan’s oldest cinemas, designated as both a Registered Tangible Cultural Property and a Modernization Heritage site.
Opened in 1911, this historic theater has been lovingly preserved through the dedication and passion of local citizens, standing today as a true “sanctuary of cinema.” Director Gen Iwama will attend the screening on Sunday, November 2, at 14:15 for a post-screening talk.
