Content/implementation report
First day
On the first day, four student films that had been selected for this film festival in the past were screened in the Mie/Morimoto district of Kyotango City.
In addition, after the screening, we had a barbecue with the locals and got to know each other, and we were able to deepen exchanges while talking about the films being screened and our daily student life.
the 2nd day

After the exchange meeting with the high school students, the people of Kyotango City Hall will take you to sightseeing spots such as Tateiwa, where many movies and dramas are filmed, and you can fully enjoy the nature and history of Kyotango. is ready!
after two days
Through this activity, we were able to deliver the film to people who usually have few opportunities to see it at the theater, and through the screening, we were able to interact and exchange opinions with the local residents. This project was a pre-PR event for the main festival held in November and “Kyotango Film Week 2014” in December. It was an opportunity to reconsider how we should be, and it was also an opportunity to learn about regional revitalization.
We are planning several pre-events this year. While continuing these activities, we aim to become a film festival where the fun of student films is more widely recognized by having everyone who visits come to see it comfortably in the run-up to the main festival in November.
*The next day, the Kyoto Shimbun (Kyotango area version) covered the event.
