Some good reasons to get yourself along to the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Ebisu this month and next:

If you only have a little time, then the Robert Capa documentary, Capa in Love and War, is an absolute must-see. I caught it yesterday and was mesmerised by Anne Makepeace's marvellous film of this inspiring Hungarian photojournalist and one of the founding members of Magnum Photos whose life was tragically cut short in Vietnam in 1954. Until 21 July.

Works by the World Press Photo 2003 award winners and finalists are also on display. My personal highlight was this photo essay by Brent Stirton about Xhosa male initiates in South Africa undergoing ritual circumcision. Until 21 July.

The exhibition of work from the Day in the Life of Africa project, shot by 95 photographers in 26 countries over the course of 24 hours in February 2002 using Olympus E-20 digital SLR cameras, closed today at the photography museum.

Upcoming photography-related events in Tokyo:

Rock'n'roll Eye, an exhibition of rock photography by Mick Rock begins at the museum this coming Friday, 18 July. Featuring signature works of iconic rock figures such as David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Debbie Harry from the 1970s through to the present day, this show will definitely be worth checking out if you are a rock history enthusiast.

Another film coming soon to the photography museum's cinema is Christian Frei's War Photographer about American photojournalist James Nachtwey. From 6 September.

Leni Riefenstahl, filmmaker and photographer, has just completed her latest film, Impressions of the Deep, at the tender age of 98, on the beauty of marine life from around the world. The film screens at Cine Saison Shibuya from next month.
