The 18th Kyoto International Student Film Festival Competition Submission Begins!

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.

1 Conrad Gelb, a young interpreter, is caught between two opposing powers and is mentally cornered. The weight of holding the fate of humanity in his hands falls on his shoulders.
He has to manipulate each other’s oversized egos to fill the room in a balanced manner. (10min)
“Yellow Balloon Toban no Sensei” / Yoko Sachi / Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School / Japan
2 One day, the homeroom teacher of the next class suddenly shaved his head. A teacher who is bald and cold to his students. One day, such a teacher gets on a balloon and flies away. No one knows what happened after that. (4min)

“Why did Komura shed tears with a straight face?” / Keisuke Kondo / Yoshihiro Nagata / Ken Ninomiya / Osaka University of Arts / Japan

Celery / Pedro Collantes / Netherlands Film Academy / Netherlands
5
What if you have an eternal heartbreak? What if you’ve never had a broken heart? When you do something for the first time, sometimes the smallest trigger can be a big relief. For example, vegetables. (15min)
“See you tomorrow” /Toshihiro Mune/Musashino Art University/Japan
6
The sun never sets. In the city, the procession of demonstrators continues to complain constantly. Natural disasters are also powerless in the face of people’s ability to adapt. Masahiro’s family, which had reached retirement age, had collapsed. In addition to the evaporation of his wife, Tomoko, he is insulated from his daughter Saori, and he is living a strained life with his only son, Toshihiro, who lives with him. In order to regain the form of “family”, Masahiro begins to move. At that time, will the sun set again?—A distorted family rebirth film that depicts through the struggle between truth, fiction, and desire. (49min)

“Okinawa / Yamato” / Kenta Higa / Wako University /Japan
11 People born and raised in Okinawa refer to “Japan outside of Okinawa” as “inland, Yamato, and mainland” and the people who live there as “Naicha, Yamatunchu, and people from the mainland.” This documentary explores the mental line between “Okinawa” and “Yamato” that can be seen from such a single name. Born in Okinawa but living in the interior, Higa’s camera moves back and forth between “the individual and society,” “the parties and the non-parties,” and the “opposing ideologies” with “fiction and reality,” and the “line” is brought to light. (98min)
