• Introduction

The Children’s Film Society, A.P,. has been, in recent years, striving to conduct Asian Children’s Film Festivals in order to bring the best of children’s films from Asian countries for the benefit of the children of Hyderabad.  The 1^st Asian Children’s Film Festival, Hyderabad was conducted by CFS, A.P., on a grand scale from 14^th to 21^st November 2002.  Apart from such mega events, CFS, AP., has been conducting children’s film screenings round the year since its inception. Apart from the regular children’s film screenings, CFS, A.P., has been planning to conduct Animation film festival for children.

• The Indo-Japan Children’s Animation Film Festival Organised by the Children’s Film Society on 4^th & 5^th March, 2003 is to help a closer understanding of the Japanese people through the medium of cinema.  Children exposed to a rich blend of Indian and Japanese animation films will not only prove to be a source of knowledge but will also stimulate interest in them to learn more about the Japanese children, their culture and the society in which they are growing.

The package of animation films, Japanese and Indian, has been carefully chosen for the child audiences so that the children can appreciate the contrasts between the various techniques of animation film making.  The films have been acquired from the well known animation film making company, Yamammura Inc. Japan.  The Indian animation package also includes films from well known animators.

• Japanese Animation Films

Japan, as we all know, is a super power in innovative technology.  As Japan is one of the Asian countries which has been competing continuously (and successfully) with the west in the technology field, we in India draw great inspiration from their work culture.  The children can emulate their techniques and enrich themselves by viewing films made by the Japanese.

Japanese film makers have been making sensitive films which have earned critical acclaim in many film festivals around the world.

• Films Made By The School Children of Hyderabad

We are very happy and proud to have taken the initiative in encouraging school children of Hyderabad.  The several workshops (Animation, Script Writing, Dramatic Presentation, Film Making, etc.) conducted over the past couple of years has provided immense boost to the school children of Hyderabad.  In fact the school children of Hyderabad have been making films on their own starting from story writing and script writing, right up to film making and dubbing. 

• Animation Films Made By The School Children of Hyderabad

The Animation workshops conducted by CFS, A.P. with the active support and participation of the several world class animation film making centres in Hyderabad, have encouraged the children to make about 20 short films on their own with the help and guidance of CFS, A.P.
