The Educational Film Market is the only market in the world that works to enrich the educational field as well as to discover new young talent. Many people gather from around the world at the Hiroshima Animation Festival. For young people who aim to become professional animation filmmakers, it provides a space to promote their talents and gain chances to work internationally. Animation schools, colleges, universities, and other organizations can publicize their programs and find new students. We hope you will use the Educational Film Market to meet your own individual needs. At the Festival this time, major animation educational bodies from Japan are setting up booths, and many works by students from Japan and overseas, including overseas educational organizations, will also be on display. These student works can be viewed by request at the preview desk as well as at information screenings. Those from animation industry organizations may also use this as an opportunity to discover new young talent. We hope many people will come to enjoy and participate in the Educational Film Market.
