Tokyo Fest Adds New Honors for Japanese Filmmakers and Women in Cinema
The Tokyo International Film Festival, running from October 26 to November 4, will debut three new initiatives this year. Two new prizes—Best Film and a Special Jury Prize—will be awarded within the Nippon Cinema Now section, with an international jury to broaden perspectives on undiscovered Japanese talent. Additionally, a new Kashiko Kawakita Award will recognize women in cinema, and the festival revives its Crosscut Asia section as Crosscut Asia+, featuring titles like Rafael Manuel's Filipiñana and Kamila Andini's Four Seasons in Java.
