Outline of the event

Concept "Encounter"

This year's competition section attracted a total of 254 works from Japan and overseas. Each member of the executive committee has their own judging standards, and after numerous discussions, they carefully face each work one by one to judge it. Fifteen winning works were selected from the 254 films. Colorful works are all appropriate. From things that make you smile to things that make you smile and things that get closer to the truth the more you think about it, there are many new encounters packed into these 15 works.
All members of the organizing committee hope that all visitors to this film festival will be able to experience some kind of "encounter" through the films.

Implementation Report

The 14th Kyoto International Student Film Festival was held at Kyoto Cinema on November 19 (Sat) ~ November 25 (Fri), 2011. During the exhibition, a total of 21 programs were held, and 119 people attended the pre-event, 569 people attended the festival, and 688 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.
