The Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) and its main content market, TIFFCOM, have announced their schedules for 2026. This means that the festival will be back in Japan’s lively capital for another big year. Hollywood Reporter says that the 39th TIFF will be Asia’s biggest film event, and it will wow audiences once more.
The 39th Tokyo International Film Festival will take place in Tokyo’s famous Hibiya-Yurakucho-Marunouchi-Ginza district from late October to early November 2026. More than 100 films, including international premieres and Japanese classics, will compete for the Tokyo Grand Prix. TIFFCOM 2026, the affiliated market that connects film, TV, and anime creators with buyers from around the world, will have a three-day format like in the past. More information will be available through official channels. Venues like Roppongi Hills and central Tokyo hubs make it easy for movie fans and industry professionals to get there by metro.
Expect a mix of competitions, special screenings, retrospectives, and rising star spotlights that will draw in die-hard fans, industry insiders, and casual viewers alike to this all-inclusive movie feast. The audiovisual market will have more chances in 2026, building on the success of 2025, which had more exhibitors and a lot of people attending. Submissions and full programming will come out later, but there is already a lot of buzz about genres like drama and sci-fi.
