TIFF ARIGATO Project

TIFF ARIGATO Project

The mission of TIFF is to seek out the finest films from around the world and present the essence of Japan's cultures to the world.

We believe that this will contribute to the restoration and recovery of the country, and will organize the following efforts under the "TIFF ARIGATO Project" at the 24th TIFF.

1. TIFF ARIGATO Donations

TIFF has been collecting charitable donations as Green Donations since 2008, and will expand this activity further as "TIFF ARIGATO Donations". Donations collected by placing donation boxes will go to 4 projects below.

Period of donations: From September 2011 to the last day of the 24th TIFF (October 30)
How to donate: - Donation boxes will be placed at various locations of TIFF venues
- Fundraising activities at TIFF's event such as Gala Dinner or Opening Event

2. TIFF ARIGATO Message

TIFF receives many heartfelt messages of sympathy, support, and encouragements from the world. TIFF is publishing these messages along with photos on the official TIFF website. During this year's festival, all the collected photos and messages will be displayed at the TIFF venues.

3. TIFF ARIGATO Wristband

After receiving many messages of encouragement from film people, we decided to show our appreciation by creating a wristband. This "ARIGATO" wristband will be given as a "thank you (ARIGATO)" to one who makes a donation before or during the 24th TIFF.
