Why don't we take a little detour?
Everyday drama often found in high school girls' lives.

"Yorimichi Drama" is a TikTok short drama account launched in 2024, aimed at high school girls. It features storylines designed to resonate with high school students.
The current series is a work by a student team from Musashino Art University's Department of Moving Images, showcasing fresh humor and pop sensibility. The director created a short film produced by Toho when they were in their first year of high school, and has recently achieved significant success in screenwriting competitions.

The Musashino Art University, Department of Imaging Arts and Sciences develops "all-encompassing" visual education based on six core areas: film, animation, image computing, photography, media art, and spatial imaging. Through comprehensive and specialized artistic education, combined with broad general studies open to society, it expands its scope into areas where visual expression and technology intersect, as well as into undifferentiated new fields. This fosters diverse talents who demonstrate creative thinking skills.

The advanced and experimental endeavors of Musashino Art University students truly resonate with the creative spirit pursued by this film festival, opening up new possibilities for visual expression.
