第17届东京同志电影节，从2008年7月11日至21日在日本东京新宿和青山举行。这个亚洲历史最悠久的同志影展，今年将呈献来自17个国家的42部影片，包括五部全亚洲首映的长片。
今年的东京同志电影节开幕片，是一部在题材与形式上均有很大创新突破的同性恋青春魔幻音乐剧：《若世界属于我》（Were the World Mine），它讲述了一个弥漫着梦幻氛围的校园同志故事——正在排演莎翁名剧《仲夏夜之梦》的男同学提摩西（Timothy），无意间使用一种紫罗兰仙药，竟然把剧团的团员都变成了同性恋“花仙子”，而且学校橄榄球队的明星男球员还情不自禁地爱上了他……影片在戏剧表演的基础上融合了摇滚乐和百老汇音乐剧的元素，并由一群充满音乐才华的年轻人主演，画面如《红磨坊》一般兼具童话色彩、舞台效果和MV风格，相比传统的同性恋电影，有令人耳目一新的感觉。
2004年，由Thomas Gustafson（托马斯·古斯塔夫森）编剧并导演的音乐短片《Fairies》（仙子）在“Lake Buena Vista Pixie Flix Fest”电影节中获得年度短片大奖，于是导演和制片公司都萌生了将其改编成音乐长片的念头。但由于导演托马斯在其后的几年里忙于《Road to Perdition》（毁灭之路）、《Pirates of the Caribbean》（加勒比海盗）等多部好莱坞大片的幕后工作，改编计划一再拖延，直到2007年6月才在美国芝加哥正式开机，并将改编的长片版本命名为《若世界属于我》（Were the World Mine）。
