Kawase Hiromi talks about her craft at the Tokyo FCCJ on October 3, 2017, on the eve of the Tokyo International Film Festival. On October 3, during the run-up to TIFF 2017, the director spoke about Radiance and her filmmaking philosophy as part of a special screening of the film at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Tokyo. These and other special programming tracks have long been part of TIFF’s allure, and two years ago they were joined by another: Japan Now, a category that selects from among all the movies released in Japan in recent years the ones that TIFF’s jury most wants to see “broadcast to the world.” This year the Japan Now track introduced 15 Japanese films, with few as anticipated as director Kawase Naomi’s newest production, Hikari ( Radiance). Since its launch in 1985, TIFF has grown into one of the biggest film festivals in Asia, featuring a host of side programs in addition to its signature Competition section that range from the Best Asian Future Film Award, where leading young directors from across the region vie for top recognition, to Japanese Cinema Splash, a showcase for Japanese indie productions. On November 3, the curtain came down on the thirtieth Tokyo International Film Festival.
