History of Tokyo Kinder Film Festival
Founded in 1992, Kinder Film Festival worked with Renate Zylla, the Director of “Kinder Filmfest Berlin,” the children’s film section at the Berlin International Film Festival, one of the world’s three largest festivals. Every year, our programmers visit Berlin to search for films and animations from around the world to introduce to Japanese audiences. TKFF contacts filmmakers, film productions, and government agencies to bring select films and their creators to Japan for the summer’s big event. This is how TKFF presents such fantastic films every summer.
