Tokyo Northern Lights Festival 2010
Tokyo Northern Lights Festival aims at continuously introducing and screening North Europe's Film works which haven't had high awareness and only a few of them have been shown in Japan, even though they have excellent human resources and high evaluations.
People, from children to elderly, are able to experience life and the culture of North European countries through films and events at Shibuya with forested promotion bases of sub-culture and high-culture on February, which is the coldest month of the year.
Further, they pursue to establish a cultural festival such as "CAMERA JAPAN" that is aims not only screening films but combining "city" and "film" together, and people are able to have opportunities to come across new friends, to talk each other and to share meaningful time through "North Europe films".

The executive committee consists of about 20 volunteers who love films and have a strong desire to learn a lot from North Europe. Without any support from firms and organizations, all of the members are going about by squeezing out spare times between their main jobs and family life. Taking advantage of the previous activity and significant supports from a lot of people associated with North Europe, they hope to grow further.
