President of the International Competition Jury, Roger Corman expressed his sincere appreciation to Chairman Tom Yoda and the entire festival staff for their hospitality and the wonderful films in the Competition Section. “All the films were excellent. They each demonstrate the glory and power of cinema to entertain, inform, and teach us. Each film coming from different cultures and countries and around the world demonstrated a common theme of humanity. Despite the country of origin, we are all equal and, I hope, wonderful people!”
 
The ceremony closed with Mr. Tom Yoda reflecting back on his five years as chairman at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Being the pioneer for establishing the concept of ecology and the Green Carpet at TIFF, he emphasized the ‘Power of Films’. “It is the fifth year since the introduction of the Green Carpet and the TOYOTA Earth Grand Prix. It is also the 25th memorable year for us. On such as special year, I am very happy to have had the world respected Roger Corman leading the member of the jury.”
