The 17th Kyoto International Student Film Festival Kyotango Film Commission Collaboration Project Held!

Kyotango Film Commission

The Kyotango Film Commission is a project launched in 2013 in Kyotango City with the aim of creating a tourism community through attracting locations for video production and supporting video production.
The Kyoto International Student Film Festival, in collaboration with Kyotango City, held a two-day screening for Kyotango residents and local high school students on August 20 (Wednesday) and 21 (Thursday).
With the theme of this year’s festival concept, “A Film Festival that Jumps Out,” the executive committee of this festival went to Kyotango City to deliver student films.

Outline of the project

Contents and Implementation Report

Day 1

On the first day, in the Mie and Morimoto districts of Kyotango City, four student films that have been selected for the festival were screened.
After the screening, we had a barbecue with Mr./Ms. from the community, and we were able to have a deep exchange while talking about the films to be screened and our daily student life.

Day 2

On the second day, we went to Kyoto Prefectural Amino High School. In front of about 30 second-year students from Amino High School’s Department of Planning and Management, we screened two past selected films and talked about what the executive committee members usually do, the roles of each department, and the difficulties in running a film festival.
　

After the exchange meeting with the high school students, the staff of Kyotango City took us to sightseeing spots such as “Tateiwa”, where movies and dramas are actively filmed, and we were able to fully enjoy the nature and history of Kyotango!

After 2 days

Through this activity, we were able to deliver films to people who do not have many opportunities to see them in theaters on a daily basis, and through the screenings, we were able to interact and exchange opinions with local Mr./Ms.. Although this event was an event to promote the main festival to be held in November and the “Kyotango Film Week 2014” in December, it was also an opportunity for us to rethink the way film screenings should be and to learn about regional revitalization through interaction with local Mr./Ms..
We are planning to hold several pre-events this year. Through these activities, we hope to create a film festival that will make the fun of student films more widely recognized by allowing visitors to enjoy the festival in November.
* The next day, the Kyoto Shimbun (Kyotango regional edition) covered the event.

Camo Cinema

Camo Cinema is an outdoor screening of films organized by the Ritsumeikan University Advertising Research Group held in Kamogawa, Kyoto. This year marks the 10th year of the event. This is a one-night-only summer event created by students who want more people to know the beauty and importance of the Kamo River, which is a representative place of Kyoto, through film screenings.

This year, we will screen the coming-of-age fantasy “Kamogawa Hormo” set in Kyoto.

In addition, Kamo Cinema also conducts cleanup activities to protect the beauty of the Kamo River before movie screenings.

Admission is free! Free to come and go! Why don’t you watch a movie while looking at the night sky above your head and relaxing on the Kamo River?

School, home, always lonely protagonist. I was always looking at friendship from a distance. One day, he came up with the idea of creating his own “city” in a vacant lot he found on his way home from school, and began drawing blueprints on the wall. At that moment, a boy approached. The boy begins to imitate the main character, which gradually develops into a fight. What exactly is friendship?

This anime was created for the purpose of environmental education for children. The content is about Goyalina, a piglet who dreams of being a ballerina and always wears a slice of bitter gourd, learning about coral reefs. We expressed in a musical style that coral is a living creature, and that Mr./Ms.’s creatures live together with the coral.
