The Kyoto International Student Film & Video Festival is the largest scale international student film festival in Japan. It is entirely organized and run by university students in Kyoto. We receive student’s works from all over the world, and provide an opportunity to screen, and discover new talent.
Kyoto is the birthplace of Japanese movies and is also known as students’city. The festival strings these two characteristics together, and also offers forum for cultural and international exchange and ultimately vitalizes Kyoto.
映画監督をはじめ、映像業界に携わる専門家から構成される最終審査員(決定次第、公式 Web サイトで発表いたします)と実行委員による選考を経て、予備審査を通過した入選作品から各賞の受賞作品を選定します。
