The 12th Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival: Closing Message from the Director
This year's Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival came to a successful conclusion.
In the five days of the festival, more than 5,000 participants enjoyed the variety of films we presented under this year's theme of "Happy Life."
We are proud that we were able to provide this year's attendees with the opportunity to enjoy the festival from a variety of different angles. In addition to a fine line up of films, this year's festival also included discussions and "teach-ins" with guests from both Japan and abroad, club events, and other activities. If these events served to inspire attendees to think about what a gHappy Life" for sexual minorities might be, we could not be more pleased.

I would like to take this opportunity to once again express our gratitude to the sponsors, embassies, organizations, volunteers, and attendees that made this year's festival possible. Many thanks to you all.

MIYAZAWA Hideki
Director
The 12th Annual Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival
