The "Tokyo International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival" is the only long-lasting event in the world of sexual minorities which will reach its 18th year this year.
With the aim of contributing to visual culture the film festival will present high quality films that rarely get the exposure in ordinary venues for their content that deals with sexuality and gender. It moreover aims to be a site for learning and information for the creation of a more varied and free society through the dispelling of prejudices over sexual minority and HIV/AIDs issues. The festival collaborates with other similar festivals around the world to build a wide network that will foster the international exchange of art.
There are more than 150 film festivals around the world that deal with sexual minority issues. Amongst them this festival is the largest in attendance in Asia, having reached 8230 visitors last year thanks to the help of Shinjuku Wald 9 that allowed the show to be held in Shinjuku for the first time. Popular programs sold out within 20 minutes of the opening of advanced booking and the festival was extremely well attended throughout the 8 days.
The popularity is based not only on high quality films but also on the events that cannot be experienced elsewhere. Please check the website for further details.
The event will be held in two venues:
July 10th(Fri)-12th(Sun) Shinjuku Wald 9 (Shinjuku Marui Annex 9F)
July 16th(Thu)-20th(Mon) Spiral Hall (Spiral 3F)
