Tokyo International Film Festival

Honouring the Film Fraternity of the East

Established in 1985, The Tokyo International Film Festival is an event held bi-annually. Having changed from the time it began, the festival has developed into a top award function in the region with the accreditation of the FIAPF. Over the nine days, that the festival takes place, films of varying genres are showcased among many competitions, special screenings and other forms of activity.

The opening day of this event is watched by thousands around the region. It is an extremely popular event in the east, such as the Grammy’s are in the west and celebrities are honoured on a green carpet as opposed to the famous red one as is generally the custom. The competition line-up always includes many film premieres and provides great excitement for both the press and ardent movie goers.

Promising young directors and world renowned veteran directors alike look forward to take their work to the public during this time. The special screenings segment of the event features yet to be launched movies and the Japanese Eyes segment honours Japanese independent film making from around the world. With other interesting segments such as the Winds of Asia-Middle East, World Cinema and the natural TIFF, a new green initiative by Toyota, the festival is one that is looked forward to by fans and celebrities alike.

If you plan to catch a glimpse of the vivacious festival while in the beautiful city of Tokyo, then plan your journey ahead, for apart from the festivities that the festival brings on, the capital of Japan has much more to offer.
