Film screening, project presentation, and introduction to Kinematic Kyoto II architecture film workshop.

The film screening of Kine[ma]tic Connections (2023) is prefaced by a presentation to introduce an architecture film workshop that was conducted in the historic neighbourhood of Murasakino in north Kyoto supported by the North Kyoto machizukuri organisation and Murasaki Style Project, a grassroots NGO. The collaboration culminated in a community screening presentation by student participants to the local community, followed by the premiere of the portmanteau of short films at the 2023 Kyoto Architecture Film Festival. Citizen participation extended beyond screening attendance and audience feedback, as residents and local proprietors were also featured protagonists. 

This film screening and presentation is followed by a talk, ‘Introduction to the Theory and Techniques of Architecture Filmmaking’, as a prelude to the architecture film practicum the contributors will conduct in Kinematic Kyoto II.
