The ImaginAsian was a
movie theater in
Midtown Manhattan,
New York City, dedicated to exclusively showcasing
Asian and
Asian American films. Located on 59th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, The ImaginAsian was owned by
ImaginAsian Entertainment, which also operates ImaginAsian TV (a 24/7 cable network), ImaginAsian Radio, and iaLink, an online
e-zine. All films shown at The ImaginAsian are in their original language and subtitled for English-speaking audiences.
The ImaginAsian was housed in a completely renovated Clearview Cinemas location, which was formerly known as the
DW Griffith Theater. The theatre was acquired by Phoenix Cinemas, until they closed the location in 2014.
