Toei Kyoto and local institutions is holding "Kyoto Filmmakers Lab" from September 27 till October 1 this year. The event is to open Toei Kyoto studio's rich Jidaigeki (period/samurai film) assets for young filmmakers from all over the world for the new style Jidaigeki production. 20 filmmakers, 10 from Japan and 10 from other countries, will be selected. The application deadline is August 23.
They will select a few winners at the end of the event and send them to Berlin Film Festival next year. The entrants also are scheduled to participate in discussion with Japanese film directors including Takashi Miike and Mamoru Oshii, as a part of the concurrent Kyoto CMEX event.
Sorry for the short notice, but if you are interested in making a film based on Japanese period/samurai drama, please take a look!
