International Auto Film Festa (1)

Festival start: 01 January 2023      Festival end: 31 March 2023

Hello! We are International Auto film festa.

■ Held an automobile film festival that originated in Japan.

The International Auto Film Festa Committee will hold the "International Auto Film Festa," a car film festival from Japan, in 2023 and will start accepting submissions from 1 January 2023.

Automobiles are the primary industry in Japan, and it is a unique market with many global automobile manufacturers and brands. However, we ignored culture and art related to automobiles.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the value of videos from the viewpoint of automobile-related culture and art.

Also, many of the existing film festivals are not well known to the general public, which is a hurdle for both participants and spectators.

We will make it possible for as many people as possible to participate in film festivals.

Using a film festival format, we will play a part in automobile culture and promote the exchange of global video creators with Japan as the starting point.


■ The mission of the International Auto Film Festa.
We are holding a new automobile film festival.

• Easy for anyone to join.
• Anyone can see trends in automobile videos.
• We are introducing video works and directors throughout the year.
• Posted in Japanese and English.
>>>
We will create a culture expressing automobiles' joy with videos.
Making film festivals more familiar.
Make it a gateway to success for creators.

In this film festival, anyone who loves automobiles can submit.
It all starts here.

An automobile is an industrial product with many interesting stories behind it.
Of course, it also delivers many stories to those who ride.

I am very much looking forward to seeing a video that conveys the appeal of an automobile that is more than just a tool.
