■ Kyoto International Film Festival 2023, including all kinds of films.
Kyoto International Film Festival.
Greetings from the Executive Committee Chairman at Gion Kagetsu.
It's like a film festival, but not quite a film festival.
It's like an art exhibition, but not quite an art exhibition.
When I asked what it was
Movies, art, and everything else
Kyoto International Film Festival.
Ready, set, go!
It always began with a call from Honorary Executive Committee Chairman Nakajima.
That chant is missing.
I offer my deepest condolences for the passing of Mr. Sadao Nakajima.
Thanks to your support, this film festival has reached its 10th year.
Coincidentally, the Agency for Cultural Affairs came to Kyoto at that very time.
This year's film festival, we convey our "thank you" to Sadao Nakajima in heaven,
Building upon its 10-year history, this must be a milestone that leads to the future.
That's why I opened it.
Thank you very much.
Next year, we aim for a new format.
Thank you in advance. I beg you .
Kyoto Mayor Daisaku Kadokawa,
Hiroki Furukawa, Vice Governor of Kyoto Prefecture,
Nobukazu Hinata, Councillor at the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
The host is the usual Kim-ni.
Thank you very much.
The Shozo Makino Award goes to Junji Sakamoto.
"The night brings the alcohol."
I love the line that Renji Ishibashi says in "I've never fired a shot ."
I also like Naomi Fujiyama and Ittoku Kishibe in "Kao" and "Danchi," as well as the sticky, lingering feel of the people of Kyoto.
Congratulations on winning the award.
Thank you very much, Yuko Natori.
