J-Pitch, a support program for Japanese producers to achieve international co-productions, will hold a seminar 'Sales Agents' Roundtable: The Marketability and Possibility of Japanese Films' with international co-productions as the keyword during Tokyo International Film Festival. International sales agents who have handled Japanese films will discuss what kind of Japanese films sell abroad and how they will increase the chance of international co-productions.

Furthermore, J-Pitch and TPG (Tokyo Project Gathering) will co-host Producer Breakfast Meeting at TIFFCOM; a roundtable discussion where Japanese and foreign producers can meet and exchange opinions. From overseas, we will invite producers, distributers, sales agents, project market directors as well as internationally active Japanese producers and they will have discussion at each table.
