agoda.com Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF)agoda.com, Asia’s global hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN), today announced hotel specials for the Tokyo International Film Festival.Taking place from October 22 to 30, TIFF is held annually in several venues across Tokyo, most events staged within Roppongi Hills in the Minato area. Roppongi Hills is a multi-function urban development comprising boutiques, cinemas, restaurants, art spaces and sculptured gardens, providing a cosmopolitan backdrop to this glamorous international event. This year, two opening films kick off the event: Hollywood action 'The Three Musketeers', and Jackie Chan's '1911'. The latter is Chan's 100th film and is both directed by and starring the Hong Kong superstar. Other highlights include a retrospective of iconic Japanese actress Kyoko Kagawa, a presentation of Yasujiro Ozo's 1953 masterpiece 'Tokyo Story', and a screening of 'Moneyball' with Brad Pitt, which will officially close the festival. Aside from movie screenings, TIFF includes special appearances by actors and industry-related seminars and symposiums. The theme of this year's TIFF is "Believe! The Power of Films", which promotes Japan's recovery from the tsunami by uniting people through a love of film. TIFF's main fund-raising project is the 'ARIGATO' wristband campaign, with all donations send to the Japan Red Cross. The project recently raised funds and awareness at Cannes Film Festival, where film people from around the world showed their support through donations and well wishes. As a travel destination, Tokyo is as vibrant in real life as it is onscreen. The nightlife of Shibuya, the shopping of Ginza and the costumed kids of Harajuku are even more exciting in person than they are in pictures, and travelers are assured an unforgettable experience in Tokyo at any time of year. agoda.com has secured a selection of special rates just for the Tokyo Film Festival.
