DTLA: Little Tokyo, in Central L.A.
Japanese American National Museum
Cinema · 100 N Central Ave
A Little Tokyo museum where documentary and archival screenings are tied to Japanese American history, memory and community programs.
JANM uses film as one part of a wider public-programming calendar rather than maintaining a daily cinema schedule.
The museum's 2026 film events include programs on the intergenerational impact of incarceration, which shows how closely screenings track its mission.
