At the opening ceremony, the Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

Fifteen films chosen from 1,942 entries submitted by 114 countries and regions will be screened in this year's competition division, in which the Tokyo Grand Prix and other prizes will be awarded.
