Also in Kyoto, the Kyoto Bunka Hakubutsukan (on Sanjo-dori, just east of 
Karasuma) has regular showings of more or less old movies, usually in themed 
series, that are free with the usual price of admission to the museum 
(\500). Listings are in Pia or other info-zines. I see Japan Foundation 
listings in the Japan Times, but not in Pia. In general, Pia is my favorite 
source--it also has listings for other "off-theater" screenings, which are 
sometimes old Japanese movies and often cheap.

Hi everybody.

As I mentioned earlier in my self introduction I am currently doing an 
exchange program in Osaka. As I am on a tight budget and schedule, I find it 
hard to put aside the effort and money it takes to go to see Japanese 
movies, old and new. I know that the Japan Foundation in Kyoto regularly 
shows old japanese movies (even w. subtitles). During my last trip to Japan 
('97) I used this opportunity, but I havent been able to find any 
information on any screenings like these in Osaka. Does anybody have 
information on low budget (or prefereably - no budget) opportunities to see 
old and newer japanese movies? Any suggestion is welcome.
