The Pia Film Festival (Japanese: ぴあフィルムフェスティバル, Hepburn: Pia Firumu Festibaru) (also known as the PIA Film Festival or PFF for short) is an annual film festival established in 1977.[1] According to film scholar Jasper Sharp, the festival "not only ranks as a vital hotbed from which the careers of some of Japan's most talented young filmmakers have been launched, but it also lays claim to being the first ever film festival in Japan."[2]
