KYOTO INTERNATIONAL FILM AND ART FESTIVAL 2020

Notes

"Kyoto News" was produced by the Kyoto City Public Relations Bureau from 1956 to 1994 and was shown in movie theaters in the city, and includes videos on topics such as citizen life, urban development and associated changing landscapes, festivals, welfare, international exchange and cultural activities, etc.
More than 60 years after production, this film is not only a history of Kyoto city administration, but is also now a valuable piece of cultural property.
Take the opportuniy during this year's online event to watch these newsreels of the "Kyoto Citizen's Film Festival", the roots of the current Kyoto International Film Festival, and one of Japan's three big festivals, the "Gion Matsuri".
