HIGHLIGHTS OF TALK EVENTS WITH TWO ICONIC DIRECTORS, MAMORU HOSODA AND SHUNJI IWAI, AT TOKYO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

TOKYO, Nov. 2, 2016 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --

The Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) screened more than 200 films, highlighting the work of two iconic directors, Mamoru HOSODA and Shunji IWAI,   as well as hosting an exciting lineup of talk events featuring them in discussion with special guests from October 25 to November 3, 2016, at Roppongi Hills and other venues in Tokyo.

This year's Animation Focus shined a spotlight on Mamoru HOSODA, the brilliantly inventive director whose "Summer Wars" (2009) and "Wolf Children" (2012) were local and international hits, and whose latest masterpiece, "The Boy and the Beast" (2015), became the highest-grossing Japanese box-office film in 2015. TIFF screened 10 of Hosoda's works from his 20-year career.
