Aeon Cinema to host free screenings for Repair Week Japan 2026

Aeon Entertainment Co., Ltd. has announced its support for ‘Repair Week Japan 2026’, an initiative organized by the Japan Sustainable Repair Association. To mark the event, the company will host free screenings of the short documentary ‘The Repair Cafe’ at Aeon Cinema Urawa Misono from October 2 to October 4.

The documentary explores the ‘Repair Cafe’ concept originating in the Netherlands, where volunteers repair broken household items, clothing, and bicycles for free. The film aims to encourage a culture of repairing rather than discarding, fostering community connections and rethinking consumer society. The screenings will also include ‘FUTURE KID TAKARA’, an animated short focused on environmental education and climate change.

Repair Week is a global movement originally launched by ReLondon in London to promote the transition to a circular economy. The Japanese iteration aims to spread repair culture and support the sustainable development of the repair industry by leveraging professional technical skills and local retail networks.
