The Tokyo Gap-Financing Market (TGFM), held during TIFFCOM in Tokyo on October 28–30, announces a lineup of 24 feature-film projects from across Asia, Europe and the Americas. The market says the projects include five selections made in partnership with Canada’s Frontières Market.
Variety and Deadline both describe Frontières as a genre-focused co-production market connected to Fantasia International Film Festival. Through this first partnership, TGFM incorporates additional horror and thriller titles into its gap-financing slate. Both outlets characterize TGFM as an international platform for supporting genre and other feature productions, with the seventh edition drawing from a wide range of countries and regions.
While the sources align on the number of projects, the timing during TIFFCOM, and the Frontières collaboration, the emphasis differs: Deadline highlights TGFM’s overall project lineup and the partnership structure, while Variety foregrounds the genre angle created by adding horror and thriller titles from Frontières-linked selections.
