Business Overview
The Kyoto International Student Film Festival is the largest international student film festival in Japan, planned and run by university students in the Kansai region, with Kyoto as its center. It aims to discover the talents and human resources who will lead the future of film by collecting student-produced independent films from all over the world.
Historically, Kyoto is a “city of film” that continues to inherit the cultural heritage of the early days of Japanese film, and is also a “city of universities and students,” with students making up 10% of Kyoto City’s population. This film festival aims to create a place for international exchange and mutual understanding and revitalize Kyoto by discovering and introducing talents that can add new fields to film from among the many potential works from around the world.
