Festival Scope Project 

In this project, a special VIPO page has been set up on Festival Scope Pro (https://pro.festivalscope.com), an online film viewing platform developed in Europe for industry professionals. This page will introduce Japanese films and creators’ works related to VIPO projects, in addition to the projects that we call for the entry. Our primary aim is to provide an opportunity for film festival programmers and other related professionals from overseas to view Japanese films, and to promote the selection of these films for film festivals.

We planned to update the page twice this year. The second update around the time of Berlin International Film Festival was made and opened with 21 new projects on 26th of the January, 2023.

In conjunction with these large-scale markets where many film festival programmers and buyers from around the world gather, we will provide an opportunity for you to discover a range of Japanese films and creators.

VIPO’s page under Festival Scope Pro’s Labels section, a section for agencies and organizations from various countries:
