What Is EARTH VISION?

EARTH VISION-A VISUAL FORUM TO THINK ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MOVING IMAGES
AND THE OLDEST INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAl FILM FESTIVAL IN ASIA

EARTH VISION The Tokyo Global Environmental Film Festival is Asia's first international environmental film festival. It was launched in 1992, the year of the Earth Summit. Its objective is to create a forum for the public to think about the global environment through moving images.

EARTH VISION-a festival to see the world's best environmental films and to meet creative talents

 
EARTH VISION is held every year in Tokyo, showing environmental films from all over the world and inviting directors from Asia and Oceania to attend. EARTH VISION has since become a place to see the world's environmental films, which are still seldom shown, and a venue for dialogues and exchanges between the audience and filmmakers who are from different regional and cultural backgrounds.

EARTH VISION-broadening opportunities to encounter the environment

The EARTH VISION mission to offer a venue for the public to see environmental films has broadened its scope of activities in the last 17 years.
Best of EARTH VISION 　and Regular screening events are its core activities.

Best of EARTH VISION-screenings of outstanding films

Through the many screenings of Best of EARTH VISION throughout the year in Japan, we were able to reach an audience of over 16,000 people per year. We are promoting these events to make our excellent environmental films available to more viewers, by expanding our geographical reach and the opportunities of showings.

Regular screening events

With the support of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, managed by the Ministry of the Environment, we started hosting regular screenings from 2004. Besides showing various EARTH VISION films, we also host events such as discussion sessions, film-related art exhibitions, live concerts, and so on.

EARTH VISION-an expanding network inside and outside of Japan

In addition to the networks we have built so far with the sponsors, corporations, and other organizations, EARTH VISION is also working to strengthen cooperation with international film festivals inside Japan.
We also have strong international ties: European environmental film festivals participating in ECOMOVE International which EARTH VISION is also a founding member; the Green Film Festival in Seoul and the Green Film Festival in Taiwan, which we have supported since their launch. EARTH VISION would like to present excellent environmental films to the world by exchanging information and enhancing collaboration with our partners.
