The Tokyo International Film Festival‘s TIFFCOM market exhibition space sold out early this year, according to managing director Ikeda Kaori. More Japanese producers are using the Tokyo market to find partners while projects are still in development.

Last year’s edition drew more than 4,600 industry professionals from 46 countries and regions, and attendance rose 13%. Ikeda credits global interest in Japanese content for part of that growth.
