Welcome to Tokyo CINEMASTERS International Film Festival.
We are hosting our 2nd Annual Festival in Tokyo, Japan.

Through discovering films and directing talent from across the globe, our film festival was founded with the mission of developing the next generation of cinema.
Japan loves all cinema, regardless of country, language, or race.
The culture of watching films with subtitles is well established here, with releases from a multitude of nations each year.

However, the majority of those releases are limited to commercial movies. The reality is that there are a wealth of fantastic overseas directors and films lying dormant that we’re never exposed to. The lack of “international” film festivals in Japan has also been an issue.

Based in Tokyo, a place where new and diverse booms are born, this festival brings together films and people active on a global stage.

A festival where you can see cinematic work that cross boundaries of race and language.

This year we focus on short films and select grand prize movies in each of these four categories:

Best Drama Short
Best Horror Short
Best Animated Short
Best Narrative Music Video

Following on from last year, this year we invite judges not only from the movie industry but also from the commercial / advertising sector to provide a place for you to show your work to many people.

We very much look forward to receiving your exciting submissions.


- Films under 40 minutes are considered short film category.
- No premiere requirements.
- Non-English nor Japanese language submissions must be subtitled in English or Japanese.
