This year marks the 21st edition of the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF), the only international film festival in Japan officially recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers Association. Started in 1985, the TIFF has since left a deep impact on the development and promotion of film culture in the Japanese film industry, comparing favorably with the most prestigious events of its kind among the some 2600 such festivals worldwide - such as the film festivals in Cannes, Venice and Berlin. The TIFF aims to become one of the four most acclaimed international film festivals in the world.
This year sees the incorporation of a focus on ecology, with the traditional red carpet being changed to a green one. In addition, symposiums on the environment will be held, and a newly-established Grand Ecology Prize (tentative name) will be given out, making the TIFF a key location for the dissemination of environmental ideals through film.
