This event, which began in 2018, has attracted many visitors as an extraordinary outdoor theater that suddenly appears in the heart of the city. The theater is produced by CINEMA CARAVAN, a pioneer in outdoor film festivals, with the Zushi Beach Film Festival becoming a hot topic on social media. The film content screened will rotate daily in two special theaters, focusing on masterpieces selected by the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia, Asia’s largest international short film festival originating from Japan.

Stories condensed into minutes vividly paint a vision of the future we each strive for, and we hope to connect this to tomorrow. We will be screening films curated with this in mind. Weekdays feature short films carefully selected by “Short Shorts,” and on Saturdays, feature films that families can enjoy. Don’t miss the diverse content that will help you feel connected, including live music performances before screenings and lively stage events featuring Shinagawa residents. ◆“CREATOR’S” Theater In addition to screenings, the Creators Theater will host talk sessions with people involved in the production.
