About Japan Through Your Lens
Japan in 2075
Japan Through Your Lens is a 1-minute film competition where students in Grades 6-8 share their vision of Japan in the year 2075. Working in small teams, they:
- Write a script and plan a storyboard
- Film scenes using a phone, tablet, or camera
- Edit their footage into a polished short film
The finished movies are screened at the Expo in front of students, teachers, and judges, a stage for young voices to be heard through storytelling.
Why Participate?
This competition helps students learn how to communicate ideas through media while working as a team.
- Builds creativity through writing and visual storytelling
- Teaches collaboration and responsibility (each team member has a role)
