Countdown Event

From January, the Okinawa International Movie Festival is implementing a series of events to liven up all Okinawan islands in the build up to the festival.

Organizer Yoshimoto Kogyo will be sending its entertainers to perform and join events around the islands to promote the festival, across the municipalities, and meeting residents throughout the region.

With Welcome Events and the Okinawa Spirit Project, both established in previous OIMF festivals, we continue to receive and build upon the support of the local community and local government.

Pre-events began in February, building on local themes to improve tourism to the region, to help develop resources and to attract tourism, with the support of people from Okinawa prefecture.
