TIFFCOM 2024 Message from the CEO |
|
| |
At last year's 20th anniversary TIFFCOM, we were delighted to welcome numerous attendees from both Japan and abroad to our new venue, the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho-kan, and to receive remarkably positive feedback. The Hamamatsucho-kan, which offers excellent access to the Tokyo International Film Festival, will once again serve as the home for TIFFCOM this year with even further enhancements. We are pleased to announce that this year’s TIFFCOM exhibition booths have attracted an exceptionally large number of applications.
TIFFCOM is committed to being a valuable marketplace, not only for sellers and buyers of completed audiovisual works, but also for producers. Last year, which marked a return to an in-person event, yielded great results of our commitment, with a significant increase in participation from producers. This year, we plan to continue strengthening the functions of the “producing” market for audiovisual content, such as the "Tokyo Gap-Financing Market”, which supports the financing of feature films, as well as the "Tokyo Story Market", which focuses on the audiovisual adaptation rights of original works owned by Japanese publishers. In Tokyo, the creative hub of Asia and a gathering place for Japanese content, we will continue to foster global collaborations, including international co-productions and adaptations of acclaimed Manga works and other Japanese IPs.
According to last year’s TIFFCOM market report, approximately 40% of industry professionals who attended with Visitor IDs cited international co-productions, latest industry seminars, and networking as their primary reasons for participation. In response to the high demand for last year's fully-booked seminars, we have added seminar rooms this year and will provide further practical expertise through latest trends and successful examples in various genres such as Film, TV, and Animation centering on Asia and Japan.
We await this opportunity to meet professionals across a wide range of occupations within the audiovisual and content industries, and are excited to offer you a more valuable market experience at our evolved TIFFCOM this year.
We eagerly look forward to your participation.
Vice President of UNIJAPAN / CEO of TIFFCOM SHIINA Yasushi |

Voices from Participants of TIFFCOM 2023 ~Motivations & New Venue Impressions~
- In general, Buyers tend to choose either Busan International Film Festival or Tokyo International Film Festival at this time of the year and since the two festivals are held close to each other timewise, we often hear that if they cannot go to Busan, they will attend Tokyo instead. Many Japanese buyers are concentrated in Tokyo this year, and I think TIFFCOM has become a dense market.
Many people commented that the venue was extremely clean, and the booths had a good sense of unity and openness. In terms of business negotiations, we were able to introduce our works to many people. While meeting times were often scheduled in advance, there were also individuals who dropped by on a whim, saying, “I was curious”, and engage in interesting conversations, which was very rewarding.
(Japanese Exhibitor)
---------- - The booths on all floors were thriving and felt reliable. We felt that it is very important to be able to communicate in person for the first time in 4 years. In many business situations where I think the message can be conveyed in a web meeting, we are very happy to see four floors of space where people can meet face to face, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere. The Toei Animation seminar was excellent. It went beyond just reading a script and honestly shared both successes and struggles, conveying Toei Animation’s proactive message for the future of content business as “Let’s work all together.” This holds significant meaning. (Industry Association Staffs) ----------
---------- - I live in South Korea and am attending TIFFCOM for the second time. I've been exploring information at various booths while also searching for works that might be suitable for entry into the Asia Contents Awards. I feel that the results and the response I have received have been positive, as I have been able to build networks. The advantages of the market lie in efficiently navigating and sharing the same space. Places where people gather and accumulate information, and where information gathers, business
opportunities arise. There's a joy in meeting people in person at TIFFCOM whom I had previously only encountered through a monitor. (Film Festival Programmer, Journalist).
