The ImaginAsian

You are approaching the site of The ImaginAsian, a former cinematic hub on East Fifty-Ninth Street. This venue once operated as a unique cultural destination dedicated exclusively to showcasing Asian and Asian-American films, live performances, and festivals. Unlike traditional theaters that focused on a single regional market, The ImaginAsian bridged diverse communities by curating a wide selection of productions from countries like Japan, China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, and the Philippines. All films screened here were presented in their original languages with English subtitles, making global cinema accessible to a broad audience of both Asian-American viewers and the general public.
