Oh my god!<br>That is a really bad news. What is happening in this world. Seems all the lovely things are disappearing;-(<br>Should not we do something to save what we love???<br><br><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/1/8 Aaron Gerow <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aaron.gerow@yale.edu">aaron.gerow@yale.edu</a>></span><br>

This follows the announcement about the Ebisu Garden Cinema, which will close at the end of this month. While both specialized in foreign films, the news only adds to speculations and fears that mini-theaters, one of the only venues for alternative foreign and domestic cinema in Japan against the stranglehold of the multiplexes, are dying off.<br>
