KYOTO INTERNATIONAL FILM AND ART FESTIVAL

Kyoto News was produced by the Kyoto City Public Relations Bureau and shown in movie theaters throughout the city from 1956 to 1994. It is a collection of videos on topics such as the lives of citizens, urban development, changes in the landscape, festivals, welfare, international exchange, and cultural activities.
More than 60 years have passed since its production, and it is not only a history of Kyoto city administration, but also a valuable visual cultural asset for today.
This year's Kyoto International Film and Art Festival will present a collection of news footage of the Gion Festival, one of Japan's three largest festivals, taken between 1956 and 1989.
