The Iranian director said that his film is Iran's sole representative to attend the festival’s competition section.
The Girl's House will be screened three times starting tomorrow; the other two sessions will also hold Q and A meetings. The Iranian flick will compete with 16 other films from Germany, France, the US and Japan.
The film festival, which kicked off on Thursday, will run until Oct.31.
This year marks the 28th edition of Tokyo International Film Festival , the only Japanese film festival accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF).
TIFF started in 1985 as Japan's first major film festival. Since then, it has grown to become one of the biggest film festivals in Asia. TIFF seeks out excellent films from around the world and brings them to Tokyo, where filmmakers and film fans can enjoy them, meet young filmmakers, and be inspired.
