The Japan Foundation and the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) are pleased to announce that we will continue to co-present the TIFF Lounge at the 37th TIFF, running from October 28 through November 6, 2024. In the fifth year of the event, we have an exciting lineup of five talk sessions with a rich variety of guests, selected by a committee that includes director Kore-eda Hirokazu*.(*See page 5 of press release for list of committee members.)
This year, the TIFF Lounge will be held in the new venue Lexus Meets… , located in the same building as many of the festival’s highlights. We will invite acclaimed and emerging filmmakers from a variety of countries and regions in Asia and beyond to Tokyo, and provide a platformfor filmmakers participating TIFF to interact and present talk sessions where they can share their stories.
There will be five main talk sessions, with this year's Cannes Grand Prix winner Payal Kapadia, who made history by becoming the first person from India to win the prize, appearing at the invitation of Kore-eda Hirokazu. A variety of other talks will also be held, including one on co-productions between Japan and ASEAN member countries, a conversation between a legendary Hong Kong action maestro and one of Japan's leading directors of today, the forefront of Japanese independent cinema, and Japan, Indonesia, and the world from the 1990s to today, as seen by two filmmakers of the same generation. The full lineup and program schedule are available on the press release and TIFF’s official website.
The Japan Foundation will also invite eight film programmers and curators from Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam) for the period of TIFF. The invited programmers, together with film experts from Japan and abroad will enjoy networking opportunities at TIFF Lounge and other film related activities.
