FIAPF’s decision to make A-list status official, with Tokyo among the 17 festivals named, is unlikely to change much about the event, according to the filmmaker leading its competition jury.

Australian filmmaker Rolf de Heer, the director of “Bad Boy Bubby” and “Ten Canoes,” was asked at the 39th Tokyo International Film Festival’s jury press conference on Tuesday whether the classification mattered or was a redundant system.
