For Cinepod's Season Four's closer, Roger Garcia reports from the Tokyo International Film Festival. Now over 20 years old, the Tokyo International Film Festival has adopted a "Green" stance for environmental awareness.
 
Roger talks to Japanese film expert and author, Mark Schilling about Jun Ichikawa and his last masterpiece BUY A SUIT which the director had just finished editing before he died, unexpectedly at the age of 60. Filmmaker and producer John Williams explains the work of J-Pitch, a forum designed to let Japanese productions find international co-producers.
 
John Woo and his stars line up on the Green Carpet for the premier of RED CLIFF, the most expensive Chinese film ever made and a big hit in Japan.
