TIFF is Japan's FIAPF-accredited competitive festival, awarding the Tokyo Grand Prix. It moved from Roppongi to the Hibiya, Yurakuchō and Ginza cinemas in 2021, which gave it a walkable centre it had lacked for years.
No attendance figure is collected in this pass.
Its Asian and Japanese programmes are the reason to attend: new Japanese cinema, much of which never reaches a European festival, with English subtitles during this week only.
A substantial share of tickets is sold to the public online, which makes it far more accessible than Cannes or Venice — a reader can simply buy seats.
PlanningA late-October window; tickets are sold to the public and the competition is open-access by festival standards.
