Opening its doors on Wednesday for its first in-person event since 2019, the Tiffcom content market in Tokyo is celebrating its 20th-anniversary edition in a new venue and with an even more international flavor to its exhibitors.
“In terms of the exhibition area, it is now almost 50-50, compared to 60 percent domestic and 40 percent overseas in 2019,” says Yasushi Shiina, Tiffcom CEO. “The number of visitors from abroad will also increase to more than 280 invitees and more than 1,000 if other overseas visitors are included.”
Running for three days until Oct. 27 across four floors of the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho, the market is showcasing film, television and IP from Japan, Asia and across the globe.
Recently renovated, the new venue was the “perfect choice,” given its proximity to the main festival venues and accessibility from major airports and bullet train stations, says Shiina.

Tiffcom Poised to Be More International, More Relevant, Says Market Chief Shiina Yasushi (Exclusive)
Tiffcom, the film market attached to the Tokyo International Film Festival, is set to be more international and more diverse in its first full comeback year after the Covid hiatus. It should also be more pleasant and convenient, having re-located to a more modern venue that is close to the film festival.
“Bringing the in-person market back after four years, my priority was to make sure that Tiffcom could happen during the festival, not some other time,” said Shiina Yasushi, who has headed the market for ten years. “That meant juggling dates, venue choices and budget.” Tokyo’s limited selection of appropriate venues came with other complications such as being in areas with expensive hotels or difficult transport options.
The new venue at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center in Hamamatsucho, on paper seems ideal. It is a newer building than the old market building in Ikkebukuro, is closer to...
