We are greatly appreciative of the support being provided for the 22nd edition of TIFF by our partners: TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION as our Special Partner; KINOSHITA CORPORATION., LTD., Coca-Cola (Japan) Co., Ltd. and FUJISOFT INCORPORATED as our Official Partners.
Their respective contributions are outlined below.
SPECIAL PARTNER
TOYOTA will again be providing extensive support to the film festival this year as our Special Partner. It will be presenting the environmental award it established last year, the "TOYOTA Earth Grand Prix", to the film that most celebrates the beauty of the earth out of all the films screened at the festival. In addition, TOYOTA will be presenting the environmentally-conscious Prius hybrid car as the TIFF official car. TOYOTA is also supporting "Natural TIFF", which screens films under the theme of "Ecology".
OFFICIAL PARTNER
Kinoshita Corporation is continuing its efforts to provide comfortable homes and livelihoods, carefully considering various aspects of modern life, ranging from urban development to global environmental issues. With a deep sense of empathy for TIFF's desire to pass on a wonderful film culture and natural environment to future generations, Kinoshita Corporation is giving wholehearted support to the 22nd Tokyo International Film Festival.
The Coca-Cola Group System, which is advancing the concept of "Live Positively" to guide its worldwide business, strongly supports the aims of "Action for Earth!". It plans to hold an exhibit displaying objects made from post-consumer containers of I LOHAS, its water brand that combines great taste with environmental-friendliness. It will also be teaming up with Teijin Limited ? as it did in 2008 ? to provide TIFF with the Green Carpet made from recycled PET bottles.
FUJISOFT has received high commendation from wide range of industries and operations as a state-of-the-art IT solution vender. We wish to utilize our technology to create joy and excitement in arts and entertainment fields as well.
We fully support the 22nd Tokyo International Film Festival.
