Monthly "ZZZ Roadshow" to be held at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas!

Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas, operated by HUMAX Entertainment Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Michio Akimoto), has decided to hold the "ZZZ Roadshow" once a month!

Isn't it okay to have one low-budget Z-grade movie a month? Accept whatever is screened as it is! Even with a continuous string of Z's like ZZZ..., you won't be able to sleep. This event screening gathers impact-focused works that defy genre. Thanks to the event screening format, behind-the-scenes talks by Shark Movie Rookie and Dankichi Nakano provide perfect (?) follow-up. We also plan to implement visitor commemorative projects such as stamp cards, so please look forward to it!
