The Tokyo International Film Festival Content Market (TIFFCOM), running from October 28 to 30, has announced the first highlights of its conference schedule, which will include executives from Nippon TV, TBS, and the Broadcast Program Export Association of Japan (BEAJ) showcasing global IP strategies and case studies.

From the booming anime business to non-scripted format rollouts, co-productions, development deals, and manga adaptations, Japan is exerting its influence as a cultural powerhouse.

A wealth of Asian content companies will be at Series Mania Forum, looking to capitalize on rising interest in scripted IP from the region, particularly South Korea and Japan.

Broadcast Program Export Association of Japan (BEAJ) and Empire of Arkadia (EOA) have put together a spotlight on Japanese content and opportunities for co-production for Series Mania Forum, with “Coming Next from Japan”—one of several country spotlights at the event in Lille, set for March 24.
