KINO Meeting presents: Multicultural Film Festival “Conversations, Crossings, and Cinema”

 /

KINO Meeting, which develops filmmaking projects with “people who (also) have backgrounds overseas”, has produced video works through various workshops to explore the possibilities of communication and expression that arise in the process. At this film festival, we will screen five films by KINO Meeting and invited films. In addition, we will hold talk sessions inviting the creators and experts of the works to create a place to delve deeper into the appreciation experience and share it. We invite you to participate in this film festival where you will discover the appeal of being and creating together with others whose roots are different from your own.*Program subject to change
