Permanent Vacation is the debut feature film of Jim Jarmusch, an early and formative work that established many of the visual and thematic qualities that would become central to his later cinema. Originally completed in 1980, the film follows Aloysius Christopher Parker, played by Chris Parker, as he moves through a fragmented and drifting New York, encountering musicians, artists, outsiders, and transient figures along the way.

Rather than following a conventional narrative structure, Jarmusch constructs the film through a series of loosely connected encounters and observations. The city becomes less a backdrop than a psychological and cultural landscape, populated by people existing at the margins of established social structures. Its deliberately sparse pacing, improvised atmosphere, black-and-white cinematography, and interest in music and subculture established a distinctive independent-film vocabulary that would become characteristic of Jarmusch's subsequent work.

This Japanese program was produced for the “Bow Series” of world cinema presented by France Eiga-sha, documenting the film for its Japanese theatrical release on July 18, 1986. It contains film stills, full production credits, and Japanese-language material on the film and its director, offering a rare glimpse into the way emerging international cinema was presented and distributed to Japanese audiences during the 1980s.

Beyond its connection to Jarmusch's first feature, the publication is a collectible artifact of 1980s Japanese film distribution culture, when theatrical programs served not simply as promotional material but as carefully produced objects documenting films entering the Japanese market. Its combination of Japanese editorial material and English production credits preserves the encounter between American independent cinema and the highly developed culture of Japanese film publishing.

Featuring Chris Parker, Leila Gastil, John Lurie, Sara Driver, and Eric Mitchell, and with music by Jarmusch and Lurie, Permanent Vacation remains an important document of the director's earliest period and of the downtown New York creative milieu that surrounded his work.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
