31st Tokyo International Film Festival

Tokyo’s top cinematic extravaganza is returning for its 31st edition and will again shine the spotlight on an eclectic – some would even say random – selection of movies, primarily shown at Roppongi Hills and Ex Theatre Roppongi. It usually offers a decent opportunity to catch new films that have been doing the rounds on the festival circuit, and also provides a rare chance to see fresh Japanese and foreign-language cinema with English subtitles.
