The Junior Film-making Workshop |
|
|
We started the Junior Film-making Workshop program in 2000, hoping so that the junior-high school students in Kawasaki get to know various people in their area as well as discover their creativity through film- making. Supported by teachers of Japan Academy of Moving Images (Nihon Eiga Gakko) and film festival volunteers among others they have created high-level films.

Cinema-uma |
|
|
The zebra, symbol of the film festival, is called cinema-uma which sounds
a bit like shima-uma meaning zebra in Japanese with celluloid strips as
its coloring.
