New York – Tokyo sends word that their New York – Tokyo Film Grand Prix Festival is about to start. Essentially the festival, sponsored by MTV, will be comprised of eight films beginning September 28 and ending October 16 across three venues. The material is comprised of everything from a collection of anime shorts by Studio 4.C (The Animatrix) to tragic love stories to a ghost story and everything between.

For all the true otaku out there, everything will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles. Many of the pieces are making their North American or International debut. Be sure to check out the film festival website for more information on the film listings, showtimes, venues and pricing.
