TOKYO (AP): The Tokyo International Film Festival opened Saturday with stars including Hollywood actress Sigourney Weaver strolling a "green" carpet made of recycled plastic bottles.
The theme of the nine-day festival, which will feature more than 100 movies, is ecology. They include, "The Cove," a documentary that depicts the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. Organizers added it at the last minute in part because of pressure from overseas.
