The ImaginAsian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ImaginAsian is a movie theater in midtown Manhattan dedicated to exclusively showcasing Asian and Asian-American films. Located on 59th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, The ImaginAsian is owned by iaTV, which also operates ImaginAsian TV (a 24/7 cable network), ImaginAsian Radio, and iaLink, an online e-zine. All films shown at The ImaginAsian are in their original language and subtitled for English-speaking audiences.
The ImaginAsian primarily showcases Asian films, including Japan, China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea and the Philippines, as well as Asian-American films from the United States. New box-office hits and independent films are shown alongside lesser-known classic titles. It also hosts several film festivals, including the New York Asian Film Festival and the New York Filipino Film Festival.
The ImaginAsian is housed in a completely renovated Clearview Cinemas location, which was formerly known as the DW Griffith Theater.
