What is the future of short filmmaking? These creators discuss. The Creators' Junction was held to launch this year's Smartphone Film Competition, supported by Sony. The event brought together filmmakers and creators to explore their passion and talent, as well as the future of film and creative trends. The Smartphone Film Competition was a brand-new category in SSFF & ASIA this year, and it broke the record for new entries. This category accepted short films under 25 minutes that were shot with a smartphone. Supported by Sony Xperia, the competition was established to expand filmmakers' horizons and challenge directors to create a new visual style unique to smartphones. The panel discussion took place June 12, 2021, in Ginza Sony Park and featured director Eiji Uchida, pop group Ikimonogakari's Yoshiki Mizuno, and SSFF & ASIA President Tetsuya Bessho.
