We are pleased to announce that Yumi Yoshida, who has been supporting the International Auto Film Festa (IAFF) for some time, has now officially joined us as an IAFF Ambassador.
Ms. Yoshida has been a prominent automotive journalist for many years, sharing the excitement of cars through various media platforms. This time, she has taken her involvement a step further by submitting her own entry to IAFF. By participating as a filmmaker, she is experiencing the festival from the same perspective as other entrants, gaining deeper insight into what makes IAFF special.
Not just as an ambassador in name, but as an active participant, Ms. Yoshida’s enthusiasm and commitment are truly inspiring. We look forward to her contributions in bringing IAFF to even greater heights!
Here is a message from Ms. Yoshida herself—please take a look!
To all fans of the “International Auto Film Festa”
I am Yumi Yoshida, a car life essayist appointed as the “International Auto Film Festa Ambassador.”
My father worked for a movie company, so movies have been close to me since childhood. The International Auto Film Festa, which features movies and my favorite cars, is packed with two of my favorite things, so I am very happy to be appointed to this position.
Nowadays, anyone can easily shoot videos with a smartphone. And if you edit a video you like a little, you can easily participate in the “International Auto Film Festa”, which is more accessible than movies, so I applied this time! Why don’t you also apply if you capture your world or scenery that you want people to see on video?
The International Auto Film Festa not only offers the pleasure of watching films, but also the pleasure of participating in them.
Let’s have fun together♡
