art theatre

Japanese: art theatre(英語表記)arttheatre
art theatre

...The name "Art Theatre Guild" was coined by Mori Iwao, and although there is no organization by that name in the United States or the United Kingdom, small cinemas called "art houses" have sprung up in the United States since the early 1950s in university towns, New York and other big cities to cater to new audiences looking for non-Hollywood films, i.e., art films, or European films, and continue to show Italian neorealism, British Balcon-style comedies, and films by directors such as Jean Renoir and Ingmar Bergman. Apparently, in the 1920s, an American avant-garde film theater that showed German Expressionist and Russian avant-garde works was once called the Filmart Theatre, and the English word "art theatre" refers more to artistic and avant-garde "theater" and the theater itself. The original purpose of ATG, the "famous film screening movement," has been continued by "Equipe de Cinema," which was started in 1974 by Takano Etsuko, general manager of Iwanami Hall, and Kawakita Kashiko, president of the Film Library Assistance Council (now the Kawakita Memorial Film Culture Foundation).
