The legendary avant-garde film A Page of Madness returns as an immersive experience!

The iconic Japanese avant-garde movie A Page of Madness is being revived in a groundbreaking immersive film version, made possible by cutting-edge aerial imaging technology—no VR goggles required. This allows for a more immersive and futuristic cinematic experience.

Screenplay by Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata.
Directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa.

Experience a new level of immersion through a collaboration between IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music) at the Centre Pompidou in France, CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), and the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo.

In this groundbreaking work, you can step into the film, touch it, and feel it—bringing the dream of living within cinema into reality.
This marks the beginning of a new era in immersive media.

Scheduled for release in Japan this winter.
