Starting from 2018, Yamagata Artists-in-Residence is a program to invite filmmakers to reside in Yamagata for extensive stays, providing space and time to focus on the development of their film projects.

The first Yamagata Artists-in-Residence was held from 24 October to 17 November 2018, inviting filmmakers from Indonesia and Malaysia to stay at Zao, a famous onsen (hot spring) resort in Yamagata, to concentrate on their film project.
