We sincerely appreciate the support being provided for the 23rd edition of TIFF by our partners: TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION as our Special Partner; and KINOSHITA CO., LTD., Coca-Cola (Japan) Company, Limited and Canon Inc. as our Official Partners. Their respective contributions are outlined below.
SPECIAL PARTNER
TOYOTA will once again be providing extensive support to the film festival this year as the Special Partner. For the third consecutive year, we are supporting "Natural TIFF", which screens films under the theme of "Ecology". And we will again present the "TOYOTA Earth Grand Prix", the environmental award presented to the film selected from all those screened at the festival as being the finest celebration of the Earth's beauty. In addition, we will be presenting the next generation environment-conscious car "PRIUS PLUG-IN HYBRID" as the TIFF official car to be used at the Green Carpet Ceremony.
OFFICIAL PARTNERS
Kinoshita Corporation cares about people. That is why we continually strive to build better homes and develop finer cities. Through our various culture-supporting initiatives, we aim to help create a world in which everyone can enjoy comfort. With a deep sense of empathy for TIFF's desire to pass on the wonderful culture of film and the natural environment to future generations, we are once again giving our wholehearted support to the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival.
The Coca-Cola 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, a Japanese natural mineral water brand that has achieved both great taste and environmental-friendliness. It will also be teaming up with Teijin Limited to provide "Green Carpet" made from recycled PET bottles, which has now become a symbol of TIFF.
Based on "Action for Green," its environmental vision, Canon is working to enhance technological innovation and management efficiency, promoting both enriched lifestyles and the global environment. This year, we will once again be sharing images of actors and actresses walking on the Green Carpet in the Photo Gallery. As an official partner, we will provide enthusiastic support to the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival being held under the theme of ecology.
