The Kyoto International Student Film Festival, which is celebrating its 19th anniversary this year, is looking for volunteer translators who can translate student films (Japanese or English) from Japan and abroad to be screened at the festival.
The translated content will be displayed as subtitles at the screening of the film at the 19th Kyoto International Student Film Festival (Kyoto Cinema) to be held on Saturday, November 26, 2016 ~ Friday, December 2, 2016.
In the past, filmmakers such as Tetsuya Mariko of “Destruction Babies” and Destin Cretton of “Short Term” participated in this festival as young people. Would you like to witness the birth of the future master?
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. Click here for details
