“Kyoto International Student Film Festival” website is now open!

Business Overview

This film festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan, planned and operated mainly by university students in the Kansai region, mainly in Kyoto. We aim to discover future filmmakers by creating opportunities for students to gather, judge, and screen independent films produced by students from all over the world.
Historically, Kyoto is a “movie town” that still inherits the cultural heritage of the early days of Japan cinema, and it is also a “university town and student town” where students account for 10% of the population of Kyoto City.
This festival aims to revitalize Kyoto by creating a place for international exchange and mutual understanding by discovering and introducing talents who can add new fields to cinema from among the many possibilities of films from around the world.

This time, the website of the Kyoto International Student Film Festival has been newly opened!

【Finished】The 13th Kyoto Student Festival will be held in the Okazaki Park area in front of Heian Jingu Shrine!

Business Overview

Students from Kyoto, who transcend the boundaries of universities, form an executive committee and engage in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society, further revitalizing the Kyoto area, and creating new attractions in collaboration with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university.
After a variety of community exchange activities throughout the year, such as the promotion of the original creative odori “Kyoen Sodefure!” and water sprinkling activities, a grand festival is held every October as the culmination of these activities.
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in the daily activities of the Student Executive Committee, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the implementation of what has been accumulated in the course of activities since the establishment of the Executive Committee so that it can be maximized at the main festival in October.

Outline of the event

As the culmination of various exchange activities throughout the year, the theme of “Kyoto” and “International” will attract visitors with a variety of genres such as dance, food, music, and sports. In addition, from this year, Okazaki Park will be renovated, and a main stage will be set up on the newly reborn Jingu Road with Otenmon in the background, and students will plan various performances. Centered on a powerful stage that overlooks the entire venue, all kinds of productions create a sense of unity throughout the venue.

Since it is a question of convincing oneself of one’s own position, it is attracting attention as a very effective educational method for fostering the comprehensive skills (logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, presentation skills, etc.) necessary for global human resources, which are in demand right now.

The Student Executive Committee of the Kyoto Student Festival Project, which is planned and managed by students and supported by Kyoto’s universities, the business community, the local community, and the government, held a grand community exchange event in cooperation with the Kyoto International Student Film Festival in cooperation with seven shopping districts in the Fushimi area and the Kyoto International Student Film Festival as a pre-event ahead of the Kyoto Student Festival Main Festival scheduled to be held in October this year.

It has been 10 years since the creation of “Kyo Flame Sodefure!”, an original creation of the Kyoto Student Festival, and the number of student odori has exceeded 1,000 every year.

The special version was challenged by the Guinness World Record ™ for the number of people dancing together (Largest Comtemporary Dance) and was successfully recognized.
This large-scale pre-event, which was planned to enliven the Kyoto region with the enthusiasm of the students, was a great success with many visitors attending. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to everyone who supported us in various ways.

report

This project, which was the largest pre-event in the history of the Kyoto Student Festival, was successfully completed thanks to the strong support of the seven shopping districts in the Fushimi area and everyone involved, and the students’ hopeful enthusiasm and challenge came to an end in the best possible way with the Guinness World Records ™ certification.
The students engage in a variety of exchange activities on a daily basis with the goal of “disseminating the charm of Kyoto” and “revitalizing the region.” We hope that this kind of exchange through the “Kyo Flame Sodefure!” will become the charm of “Kyoto City of Students” and be disseminated to the world, and above all, we will continue to explore new initiatives with the aim of becoming an organization that will allow the Kyoto Student Festival to take root in the community and further revitalize the city of Kyoto.
The culmination of the Kyoto Student Festival is the main festival, which is held every October. Please look forward to this festival that will be even more powerful due to the success of this event!
