23rd Tokyo International Film FestivalOctober23-31,2010

TIFF, since 2008 under the theme of "Ecology," has introduced various ideas such as the Green Carpet Welcome, Green Power and Green Charity. The 23rd TIFF had a related theme, "Sustaining for the Future," aiming make another leap forward.
At the 23rd TIFF, we screened many excellent films, including the Opening Film, "The Social Network," and the Closing Film,"The Town."  The Tokyo SAKURA Grand Prix was awarded to "Intimate Grammar" (Israel) directed by Nir Bergman.

We also challenged various new approaches, such as the first-ever "The Tokyo Daily" newspaper, the "UNIJAPAN Entertainment Forum," which featured speakers from ten countries/regions, and "CONNECT USA," an interactive forum held in conjunction with the U.S.Embassy, Tokyo.
