The International Drama Festival in Tokyo is an event designed to promote outstanding dramas from Japan to an international audience. It was founded in 2007 as a cooperative effort by commercial broadcasters and NHK (Japan's only public broadcaster) along with program and film producers, rights holder groups and other content-related organizations.
The International Drama Festival in Tokyo consists of two main components: Tokyo Drama Award and Overseas Expansions. The Tokyo Drama Award, an official event of CoFesta, hosts an awards ceremony and commemorative party in autumn of each year. It recognizes Japanese dramas that can connect with a global audience, and also celebrates outstanding dramas brought to Japan from overseas with a Special Award. Symposia, screenings, and other initiatives help to further mutual understanding between Japan and other countries through the exchange of programming.
For the Overseas Expansions component, in addition to Cool Japan events at the world’s largest international audiovisual content trade show MIPCOM (Cannes, France) and the Japan Pavilion at ATF (Singapore), special overseas promotional events (J Series Festival) are held to make a direct appeal to viewers in specified target countries in Asia. Large-scale promotional events have been held in Thailand (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017), Indonesia (2015), and Vietnam (2016).
Meanwhile, Vietnamese actress Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc was named Face of Asia at Marie Claire’s Asia Star Awards 2017 as part of the Busan International Film Festival in Busan, South Korea. Ngoc was honoured for her role in Co Ba Sai Gon (The Tailor), a romantic comedy produced by movie star, director and producer Ngo Thanh Van.
The film is about Vietnamese women living in Sai Gon (now Ho Chi Minh City) in the 1960s. It features the culture and lifestyle of the locals and history of  the ao dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress).
