Business Overview
In recent years, the international appreciation of our country's unique silent film screening style with benshi-gakushi has been growing, but it is hard to say that it has yet to gain sufficient opportunities for public performances. In this activity, the performers themselves will stay in Germany to form a network with researchers and promoters from around the world, and create an environment to spread the activity photography culture abroad. In addition, in cooperation with film festivals and media in Tokyo, we will contribute materials and experiences acquired overseas to planning in Tokyo. In addition, the government will provide opportunities for highly motivated musicians to study abroad and foster musicians.
