During the 7 days of November 25 to December 1, 2024, “Talents Tokyo 2024” will be held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Arts Council Tokyo and the Talents Tokyo Organizing Committee, in cooperation with Berlinale Talents and in collaboration with Goethe-Institut Tokyo under this year’s theme: “To Love is To See”. This is a talent development program for East and Southeast Asian filmmakers and has been organized since 2010.
Talents Tokyo 2024 brings together 17 upcoming promising filmmakers and producers (Talents) who were selected after a rigorous selection process. The participants will receive lectures from film experts at the forefront of cinema that will share their experiences as a professional. Each participant will bring one developing project, which the main experts and other local industry professionals (announced later) will analyze on its various aspects, such as directing, producing and investment viability.
As the main event of the program, participants will publicly present his/her project on Nov. 28 – which will be eligible for the Talents Tokyo Award (Registration required for viewing, details to be announced).
Additionally, we announce this year’s recipients of the alumni support program: “Next Masters Support Program”. Under this program, Talents Tokyo will award a Project Development Fund or an International Promotion Fund to the selected projects.
