Outline of the event
Concept: “A place to inspire, that’s a film festival”
1. Through exchanges between domestic and overseas artists, we will learn about the differences in the process, environment, and perspectives of creating works, and create a place where artists can talk about their knowledge of their own works and videos, thereby stimulating their future production activities. We aim to be a film festival that can lay the foundation for international filmmakers to play an active role as international filmmakers by discovering and nurturing the talents of filmmakers.
2. By creating a place where the executive committee members bring the artists and audiences closer together, provide projects for a wide range of audiences, and convey the appeal of the videos produced by the students, we aim to convey to the audience the fun and high quality of the works and deepen their interest in the student artists and their works.

Implementation Report
The 16th Kyoto International Student Film Festival was held at Kyoto Cinema on November 23 ~ 29, 2013. A total of 17 programs were held during the exhibition, and a total of about 650 visitors attended.
In each program, in addition to screenings of works by student artists, a talk show was also held by the executive committee members and student artists, and behind the scenes stories related to the production, which could not be understood just by watching the works, were unfolded, and the students were able to feel the fun of the works from the perspective of the students, which is a little different from box office films.
In addition, many artists from Japan and overseas visited Japan, and opportunities were provided to interact with the executive committee members, and one of the largest student film festivals in Japan, created by the executive committee members and artists together, ended with great success.
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who came to the venue, to the student artists who submitted their works to this festival, and to all those who supported the festival in various ways.
