FutureCity Yokohama Program
Screening and Award Presentation of “FutureCity Yokohama Award” nominated films
In order to raise awareness of "Environmental FutureCity Yokohama," the City of Yokohama and SSFF & ASIA presented the "FutureCity Yokohama Award" for the first time last year, awarding the short film that best depicted an environmentally friendly future lifestyle making use of technological advancements. The winner was "More Than Words," directed by Andrea Jako Giacomini. We will present the award once again this year, to the film that best depicts the "Environmental FutureCity" theme. Why not think again about future cities and how to live through the medium of film?
