TIFF at transition

Ryuganji reports about the proposed change of format of Tokyo International Film Festival, and the looming question regarding its status as an international film festival.  He quotes an interesting article from Asahi.  Thanks!!

As an ordinary fan, who has no background in the art of film, I don't understand ANY of the film festivals, anyway (my "layman taste" is so remote from the artists who make selections), so I have no opinion about the TIFF quality.  But I can say this for sure - whenever Japanese government tries to mess with the industry, it usually turns the situation worse.  I hope they stay away.
