Neil Jordan Named Tokyo Jury President | The Irish Film & Television Network

The Oscar winning and IFTA winning writer/director of films such as ‘The Crying Game’ and ‘Ondine’, Neil has been associated with the festival since its first event in 1985 where his film, ‘Company of Wolves’ was selected for competition. Hosted by the Japanese Association for International Promotion of the Moving Image, this year’s event will take place in Roppongi Hills in Minato City and other areas in Tokyo’s metropolitan area.

As the only Japanese film festival accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF), TIFF has played an integral role in Japan's film industry and cultural scene since its establishment in 1985. The prizes awarded at the festival include the Tokyo Sakura Grand prix, the Special Jury Award and prizes for best actor, actress and director.

The festival is currently accepting entries for this year’s event. The deadline for receipt of submissions is Thursday, July 15th. For more information about entering projects and for more general festival details visit www.tiff-jp.net
