Mirrorball was born at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 1996, with the aim to prove to the world that music videos were worth more than a passing glance, and that some of the directors who made them were talents to watch out for. The festival has now grown into an internationally acclaimed annual showcase event that presents and celebrates the wealth of global creative talent working in music video and commercials. Do not miss the chance to see the premiere festival of Mirrorball in Japan, in a full day screening event of promos and talks.
