What is the Kyoto International Student Film Festival?
The Kyoto International Student Film Festival is the largest international student film festival in the Japan operated by the Student Executive Committee. Films and video works directed by students from Japan and abroad are invited in a competition format, and the selected films are screened at the Kyoto International Student Film Festival (held in late November) to commend the best films.
Historically Japan Kyoto is a "city of movies" that still inherits the cultural heritage of the early days of cinema, and it is also a "city of universities and students" where students account for 10% of the population of Kyoto City. The purpose of this film festival is to create a place for international exchange and mutual understanding among student filmmakers and filmmakers, as well as to discover and disseminate new talent that will support the film industry in the future from among the many possibilities of students.
