Ideas for exhibits recommended for school culture festivals. Film screenings, too.

Stop-motion movie

Stop-motion movie (stopmotion) ~Kitako DIARY~

Stop motion is created by taking photos with slightly shifted positions and stringing them together to look like moving images; its distinctive, choppy motion is part of the charm.

Since it involves combining photographs, connecting shots of someone mid-jump can produce footage that looks like they’re flying—allowing you to create live-action images that are impossible in reality.

Keep this in mind as you develop your script and structure.

To make it read as moving footage, the number of photos is crucial, so perseverance in capturing the necessary number of shots is probably the most important factor.

Ridiculously cool video

Baka-Cool Everyday 2014 - Cultural Festival Project -

It’s a piece composed of short clips showing everyday actions carried out in a stylish way.

The structure repeatedly presents moments that seem almost miraculous, like tossing trash into a bin without looking or tidying up by juggling items with your feet.

If you frame it as “a day in the life of a high school student,” layering these miracles onto the events of a single day, the added sense of story could make it an even more polished work.

It would also be great to include moments that prompt playful quips—like “You don’t have to make even that move stylish!”—that make viewers chuckle.

Ending with just a string of miraculous moments is fine, but if you play a making-of segment after the main feature that shows the path to achieving those shots, you can also convey the effort and relatability behind them.

Parody of the Street Interview Channel

Interviewer: Go Yoshida / Beaten by a station staffer and bleeding / A TV man's life: frightened by Rino Sashihara, encouraged by Shinobu Sakagami, and bearing a grudge against Osamu Suzuki / Machiroku Channel director Mitani

A popular YouTube channel called “Machiroku ch” compiles videos in which Shiro Mitani interviews people—from ordinary citizens to celebrities—who have led tumultuous lives, under the theme “Tell us about your life.” If you usually watch YouTube, there’s a good chance you’ve come across videos from this channel.

It’s also easy to replicate since it simply involves interviewing the participants.

Featuring school celebrities or teachers would likely get everyone excited! When you do, be sure to add an impactful title to the thumbnail image.

A slot machine that moves with twine and stops with a magnet

[Craft] Moves with twine, stops with magnets. How to make a slot machine and how it works explained.

One of the classic casino games is the slot machine.

You can find them in many arcades, too.

If there were a slot machine at a school festival, people would probably think, “I want to try it!” It’s known for its spinning reels, but it seems difficult to make one yourself, right? Actually, you can build one using craft paper, twine, and a hot glue gun.

You can probably get everything at a 100-yen shop.

The reels are powered by the twine.

Playing with a slot machine is fun, but a handmade slot machine would likely spark even more excitement.

Calligraphy Exhibition

High School Calligraphy Exhibition 2021 at the Exchange Center

Hosting a calligraphy exhibition is also a classic idea.

You could all unite to work on a large masterpiece together, or each person could create their own piece.

In that case, writing your personal motto would be lovely.

Try creating works that move the hearts of those who see them! As a slightly unconventional display method, you could try things like “writing humorous phrases” or “arranging pieces so that, when read in sequence, they form a story.” That way, even people who aren’t familiar with calligraphy will find it approachable.

Our Culture Festival War

Our Culture Festival War

For those struggling with class project ideas! Here are some suggestions for our Culture Festival War.

Are you unsure what to showcase for your class project? One great recommendation is to make a short film.

From writing the script to filming and editing, it can be a valuable time to work together while thinking through each step yourselves.

For classmates who feel shy about performing on stage in front of an audience—whether it’s dance or a skit—a short film that can be recorded in advance might be perfect.

Definitely consider giving it a try!
