Okinawa International Movie Festival Cheer Squad
Okinawa International Movie Festival is supported by volunteers from Okinawa, “Okinawa International Movie Festival Cooperative Committee” organized by corporations and associations, as well as “Okinawa International Movie Festival Local Cheer Squads” — these great acts of support have made our events and screenings possible across Okinawa. Our network of cheer squads have spread to 58, with 48 community squads and 10 student squads (as of July 2018). Again this year, with the help of the cheer squads, we will get more people involved across the island.
