27th TIFF held the first press conference to announce the event outline

27th Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) held the first press conference on August 26, 2014. The press conference opened with a welcoming address from Yasushi SHIINA (Director General, TIFF & TIFFCOM).
Also the following news were announced.

- The New Logo of the Festival.
- Collaboration with the Japan Foundation for Next Seven Years
- This Year's Festival Navigators: Azusa OKAMOTO and Harry SUGIYAMA
- Details about Special Screening at Kabukiza Theatre, Showing Chaplin's "City Lights"

Director Hideaki ANNO appeared as a guest for his retrospective program, "The World of Hideaki Anno". Its line-up, which is around 50 films including his early works from his school days was revealed.

After the press conference we had a standing interview with Hideaki Anno and Toshio Suzuki, the producer of Studio Ghibli, who had helped us to present "The World of Hideaki Anno". Mr. Suzuki said "After Hayao MIYAZAKI has announced his retirement, I truly believe that ANNO will be the successor in the Japanese animated film industry and I also believe that animation can only be run by few talented people, and ANNO is the one. You have to value the talented people like him. ANNO is going to lead the animation industry for the next at least 10 years in Japan."
The whole line-up of main sections for the 27th Tokyo International Film Festival will be announced at the press conference on September 30.

The 27th TIFF will be held October 23-31, 2014 at Roppongi Hills, TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi, and other venues in Tokyo.
