I am honored to receive the 1st Prize. This work is my graduation project, and it is a form of learning and gratitude that I felt was the most important thing I gained while attending university. I am very happy to have the opportunity to have my work seen by so many people. Whenever I get lost and lose confidence, I will remember this experience and continue to work hard on my art. I sincerely thank you for this opportunity.

This film is for my grandmother whom I could not see in her last days because of COVID-19 and I consider this award as last memento for me. I realize that the film was not created by me alone. I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor and the staff for their support.

Award Comment

I am very happy to have received this award because I became interested in experimental film after watching Mr. Toshio Matsumoto's ATMAN. I thought that having my work seen by many people would help me grow as a person, so I took on the challenge of ISCA for the first time.

I am very happy to receive this award from ISCA.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the many people who helped me in the making of "Melody". I can't thank them enough for their support.
This work is made on the theme of people's exchange, so I hope that it will create a feeling of empathy beyond words in everyone.

I was extremely happy to receive such a high evaluation for my work, even though it was inexperienced and I had to do my best just to make it. I'm still working on it and preparing for the next one to make it better. Thank you for your continued support..

I never thought there would be a day in my life when I would be grateful for my mouth ulcers. I would not have created this piece if I had not felt the annoyance of mouth ulcers 2 years ago. I have learned that nothing in life is ever wasted. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for selecting my work "戯れ子ばこ" as the 3rd Prize. I am very happy that so many people were able to view my work under these circumstances. I created this work based on my own childhood experiences, and I hope that it will somehow connect with the experiences and memories of everyone who sees it.

I am very pleased that my work has been given this opportunity to be seen by so many people. I was a little concerned about how people would evaluate it because of its LGBTQ-related content, but winning this award gave me confidence for my future creations. I am truly grateful.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the ISCA festival and each member of the jury. Your words about my film are very important to me. You know, it's very valuable when you create something, and it resonates in the souls of people. This means that everything is not in vain and I am going in the right direction. This festival has opened a new level for us. And personally, this award inspires me to continue and move on. Thank you so much for this.

For me, there is no greater pleasure than the fact that my film can touch someone and find a response in his heart. I believe that there are universal things that can overcome distances and any languages - this is undoubtedly a movie and a spark of feeling from watching it.

I am very happy to receive the 1st Prize from among many entries. While many exhibitions were cancelled due to COVID-19, I was able to exhibit my work at ISCA and realized again how valuable it is to have many people, including the judges, come in contact with my work. It was a very stimulating two days. I would like to use this experience as a springboard for my future work. Thank you very much for your support.

I am very happy to have received this wonderful award for my work, which I created in the hope that someone would see it someday under the COVID-19 . I will continue to make my best effort.

I am very happy to have won the Knowledge Capital Award. It was the first time for me to receive such a big award, and I am glad that I was able to "Blooming," as the title of my work means, what I have cultivated in my four years at university.

I am very happy to have been nominated for ISCA2021, and with the ongoing COVID-19, the opportunity to exhibit in a real space is quite rare, so it was a great experience to set up in a real space and have many people appreciate my work.

First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the teachers and judges who gave me advice, and ISCA administrators. One of my goals is to be on this wonderful stage again (and hopefully to become a regular prizewinner), and I will continue to work on my work.

Thank you very much. I was very happy to hear that this work was discussed in connection with the metaverse in the general comments and the judges session because I created it for people to think about the relationship between the virtual and the real.

It was my first time to participate in a competition, but the kind support from the management helped me to realize my work. I am very happy that I was able to spend three fulfilling days introducing my work to the participants. Thank you very much for this precious opportunity.

Award Comment

I am honored to have been selected as a prize winner. I always felt anxious and inferior during the exhibition because the other participants are all high level. I will never forget this feeling, and next year I would like to create a work that I can proudly present and win the Top Prize.

Award Comment

Thank you very much for the wonderful award. I hope that people who experience this work will be able to feel the charm of Kanazawa, even if only a little, and that it will be an opportunity for people to become interested in the real Kanazawa.
