*The call for films for the 7th Ibusuki Film Festival closed on 22 June.

Subsequent dates are listed below.

Best regards.

 You will be responsible for your own transportation and lodging expenses.

The Ibusuki Onsen Ryokan Cooperative Association in Ibusuki City supports the Ibusuki Film Festival, and we will make a tentative reservation for your lodging if you contact them.

We will announce the nominated films in late July. Only the producers of the nominated films will be notified, so please send us your film files in HD or higher quality, the URL of the Ibusuki Film Festival promotional trailer, and stills for screening again.

Handling of copyrights and publicity use of films

The copyrights of the submitted films naturally belong to the filmmakers.

The nominated films will be screened at the Ibusuki Film Festival and their stills or parts of them will be used for publicity purposes in TV, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and other media for the purpose of promoting the festival.

We are looking forward to seeing your passion-filled works.

For those who participate in the Ibusuki Film Festival Competition, we will hold a reception on the day of the festival and provide a free tour of popular sightseeing spots in Ibusuki the following day.

Application period opens Saturday, May 25

Submission deadline Saturday, June 22

Nominated entries will be announced in late July.

*There is only a short time between Saturday, June 22, the application deadline, and late July, when the nominated works will be selected, but by closing the application period early, we hope to make it possible for you to come to Ibusuki, at the southern end of Japan, at a low travel cost. We have asked for a hotel that can accommodate you at an unbeatable special price.

The nominees will be invited on a sightseeing tour the following day to popular spots in Ibusuki City, including a sand bath and a Soumen-nagashi (fine white noodles served on a hot spring).

The extra prizes will be Ibusuki's specialties such as Japanese black beef, agricultural products, traditional Japanese sweets, etc., provided by the producers of the products.

We are sincerely looking forward to receiving your entries.
