Shashin kôshien 0.5 byô no natsu

"National High School Photography Championship Tournament", also known as "Shashin Koshien" is an event held annually in Higashikawa, Hokkaido, Japan's town of photography. Every summer, Shashin Koshien decides which school has the best photography club. Oyama, Sakura, and Mirai from Kansai Academy in Osaka were encouraged by their advisor to join with the aim of letting them experience "a world where people who are challenged could see". Meanwhile, Tsubakiyama Shota, a senior at Sakuragaoka Gakuen in Tokyo is the only member of his school's photography club. Other members resigned thinking that photography won't help in getting them to a university. In spite of principal Saeki objecting to his plans, Shota was still eager to join, forming a team with his childhood friend and a junior volunteer. With over 500 schools all over the country, only 18 schools would be chosen to participate in the event. Competitors fight to capture the beauty of Japan and the human spirit.

I was entertained. This movie is simply a well structured, interesting and remarkably smart movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. This movie is worth watching.

I had the privilege of seeing this movie before it came out, and, like most of Gamon Kaai films, it blew me away.

It was a little cheesy at times, but I loved this movie. The concepts and characters were unique.

This movie has a special place in my heart possibly because I've done the work that Hiroshi Sugawara has done before! Great choice of actors as well!

Legendary Hiroshi Sugawara are at their finest! A Solid Watch!

Enjoy it for what it is.

Shashin Koshien Summer in 0.5 Seconds was a great movie, because it was not your ordinary movie. The overall choice of cast was superb!

Great FILM! You can watch it 4 times and still rediscover little quirks you hadn't noticed. Absolutely amazing.
