Discover the Future of Visual Content at TIFFCOM 2025

The TIFFCOM 2025, a prominent business content market held alongside the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF), is set to take place from October 29 to 31, 2025, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center in Hamamatsucho. This year marks the 22nd iteration of the event, which brings together content holders from films, TV, and anime, alongside key buyers and producers from around the globe. The event features a rich lineup of industry seminars, pitch contests, and networking opportunities designed to foster international co-productions and open new doors in the content business.

With the growing globalization of the visual content sector, TIFFCOM 2025 promises to be more dynamic than ever before. Recent registrations have already surpassed last year's numbers, confirming the market's appeal among buyers and producers. TIFFCOM will also host the Tokyo Gap Financing Market and the Tokyo IP Market, both aimed at connecting local creators with international collaborators. The event this year expands its offerings with 20 seminars covering hot topics such as market trends, overseas strategies, and more, signaling a robust outlook for the industry.

During a press conference held on October 1 for the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival, TIFFCOM Director Kaori Ikeda highlighted the key features of the upcoming event, urging industry stakeholders to participate. The emphasis on collaboration has never been more crucial as the demand for innovative visual content continues to soar. The festival will showcase a special seminar on the international co-production of ‘Morte Cucina’ directed by Pen-Eng Rattana-lun, a project selected from last year’s ‘Tokyo Gap Financing Market’. The TIFFCOM initiative seeks to support international collaborations and facilitate content expansion overseas through various measures.

Keynote presentations will include insights from Tetsuya Fujimura, Executive Producer of Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece, who will delve into Japan’s IP strategy for the global market. The seminar program will bring together key players and creators from Japan and beyond, covering a broad array of topics including IP strategies, international co-productions, and popular content from various Asian countries.
