One month remains until the YAMATO FILM FESTIVAL 2025, the film festival hosted by our association.
Now in its 15th year, this event will screen short films of up to 15 minutes, submitted last year from across the country by professionals and amateurs of any nationality.
From a record 74 submissions, twelve films were nominated after rigorous judging by a panel including Daisuke Miyazaki, an active film director working both domestically and internationally. The nominated films will be screened in one program, followed by the announcement and presentation of the Grand Prize.

After the awards ceremony, we will also premiere works specially produced for this festival. One of these pieces was filmed with the cooperation of local residents and is currently being edited with great care.
No registration is required, and attendees may come and go freely. Enjoy a variety of films for free.
