The Largest Film Festival in Asia
The one and only FIAPF-accredited international film festival in Japan
This year marks the 24th edition of Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF). As the only Japanese film festival accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF)*1, TIFF has played an integral role in Japan's film industry and cultural scene since its establishment in 1985. TIFF aspires to be recognized as one of the four major film festivals in the world - in the same league as Cannes, Venice and Berlin, which now stand at the summit of the more than 2,600 international film celebrations.
*1) International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) is an international organization that oversees issues related to the film industry and international film festivals.
A collection of excellent works from around the world for exclusive screenings, nominated for the "Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix"
Over the nine days of the Festival, films from a variety of genres will be shown in several intriguing programs: Competition, which selects the "Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix" from a carefully chosen ensemble of premiere films presented by both talented first-timers and recognized directors; Special Screenings, which premieres highly entertaining films prior to their public release in Japan; Winds of Asia - Middle East, which boasts the largest number of films and audiences in all the TIFF screenings; Japanese Eyes, which showcases a broad range of Japanese films for worldwide audiences; and natural TIFF highlighting films carrying underlying messages that place emphasis on "the coexistence of humans and nature."
With the theme of ecology, TIFF is a festival of dreams and aspirations: the 24th TIFF will continue the theme of "ecology".
After the March 11th earthquake and tsunami, the whole world watches Japan to see how we will remain strong and overcome the challenges we face. As a festival that asks how people and nature can co-exist, TIFF must consider its role in this time of crisis and use the power of films to encourage and support the people in the devastated areas and reassure them of Japan's future. It is our mission.
Multipurpose events with an emphasis on films
The opening day appearance of guest celebrities on the Green Carpet on Roppongi Keyakizaka Street will be followed by various events, mainly in Roppongi Hills. This year, TIFF/TIFFCOM/Entertainment Forum events will be held under one roof for all visitors to enjoy. The open-air screenings, voice-over screenings, and guest appearances by stars of the films are sure to be enjoyed by film fans and business people. Along with TIFFCOM (the multi-content market), seminars, symposiums, and workshops will be held to promote the film market and provide opportunities for content business networking.
