The International Auto Film Festa Committee will hold the "International Auto Film Festa," a car film festival from Japan, in 2024 and will start accepting submissions from 1 January 2024.
Automobiles are the primary industry in Japan, and it is a unique market with many global automobile manufacturers and brands. However, we ignored culture and art related to automobiles.

We will make it possible for as many people as possible to participate in film festivals.
Using a film festival format, we will play a part in automobile culture and promote the exchange of global video creators with Japan as the starting point.
