Implementation Report

The 15th Kyoto International Student Film Festival was held at Kyoto Cinema on November 17 (Sat) ~ November 23 (Fri), 2012. During the exhibition, a total of 13 programs and 1 project were held, and a total of about 1,010 people attended.

In each program, in addition to screenings of works by student artists, talk shows were held between the executive committee members and student writers, and secret stories that cannot be understood just by watching the works, such as the backstory of the production, were unfolded, and the students felt the fun of the works from the perspective of students, which is a bit different from box office films.

In addition, many domestic and foreign artists visited Japan, and opportunities were provided for interaction with the executive committee members, and the largest student film festival in the Japan created by the executive committee and the artists together ended with great success.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who came to the venue, the student artists who submitted their works to this festival, and all the people who supported us in various ways to hold this festival.
