As we prepare to bid farewell to our public space, we’re inviting our community to help decide the final film to be screened at the Japan Foundation Toronto Event Hall.
For the final screening, the audience will take the programmer’s seat through the JFT People’s Choice Award. Cast your vote for a Japanese film that you would like us to show — whether it’s one of your favourite titles previously presented by JFT or another Japanese film you’ve always wanted to experience on the big screen.
Your vote will help shape this special farewell event and celebrate the films and stories that have brought our community together over the years.
How to Participate
Submit your choice by completing the online voting form. You may:
- Vote for a film previously screened by JFT (see here for previous screenings), or
- Suggest another Japanese film you would like us to present.
Voting closes: Monday, July 27, 12:00PM ET
Voters will have early access to register for the film screening!
After the submission period closes, our team will review the results and licensing availability before announcing the winning title. While every effort will be made to present the audience’s top choice, the final selection is subject to screening rights and availability.
The winning title will be announced in late August, with the final screening in early September. Please stay tuned by checking our website, signing up for our newsletters, or following us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, X).
Join us in making this final screening at our current home one chosen by the community, for the community!
