The 25th edition of the Tokyo International Film Festival will be held from October 20 to 25 in the city of Toyko (Japan).
(Note: Before I start with the general information of the festival I would like to thank the organizers of the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) for trusting Film Focus and giving us the press pass to post information about the festival. Due to the university times and my little budget it is impossible for me to attempt the festival and cover it the way it deserves to be cover. I hope next year to attempt the festival. Again thanks for your support.Sebastián Nadilo)

This year marks the 25th edition of Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF). As the only Japanese film festival accredited by the international Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF), TIFF has played an integral role in Japan's fillm industry and cultural scene since its establishment in 1985. TIFF aspires to be regcognized as one of the four major film festivals in the world - in the same league as Cannes, Venice and Berlin, which now stnad at the summit of the more than 2,600 international film celebrations.
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 intreguing sections: 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 “co-existense of nature and mankind”
The 25th TIFF will explore our future through the power of films.
In 2011, we reaffirmed the power of films to encourage, move, and unite people. For the 25th TIFF, we take another step towards the future. Our mission as an international film festival is to provide a platform for people, culture, and business in Japan and around the world, while continuing the theme of ecology. TIFF promises to grow beyond generations and boundaries to present the finest to the world and the finest films in the world to Japan.
Multipurpose events with an emphasis on films
The opening day appearances of guest celebrities on the signature Green Carpet on Roppongi Keyakizaka Street will be followed by various events, mainly in Roppongi Hills. The open - air screenings, voice - over screening, and guest appearances by stars of the films are sure to be enjoyed by film fans and bussiness people. Along with TIFFCOM and the Unijapan Entertainment Forum, seminars symposiums, and workshops, we will hold interactive programs to promote discussions and business networking.
