Crowdfunding for the 'P.A.WORKS Original Animation Film Festival in Hokuriku' to be held in March 2027 begins on April 10!

Animation production company P.A.WORKS, which holds the vision of 'becoming a production company that continues to create original works into the 2030s,' has worked on many original titles. Last year, marking its 25th anniversary, the company reached a milestone of five original theatrical films. To commemorate this, a film festival featuring all five theatrical works will be held in Johana, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, the company's birthplace.

Ahead of this, from Friday, April 10 at noon to Sunday, May 31 at 23:59, we will conduct a crowdfunding campaign titled 'We will continue to create. - We want to realize a film festival in the birthplace of P.A.WORKS' (14 tiers total) on Campfire, one of Japan's largest crowdfunding platforms.

The film festival will feature a special screening format combining 'live commentary screenings' with the production staff of the five works and 'teach-ins' where attendees can exchange opinions directly with the creators. With screenings on a 350-inch large screen, you can fully immerse yourself in the world of the works. There are two types of festival tickets: S-seats (front row, 1st floor) which allow you to enjoy the event near the guests, and A-seats (back row, 1st floor + 2nd floor) suitable for viewing the films. S-seats will be sold exclusively through crowdfunding.

As the main visual for the film festival, with the understanding of the rights holders and stakeholders of the five theatrical works, and with the cooperation of P.A.WORKS, we will create a 'P.A.WORKS 5 Theatrical Works Special Collaboration Visual.' We are also preparing special pamphlets and merchandise to commemorate the festival, allowing you to keep these items as memories. Furthermore, we are spending nearly a year preparing limited-edition premium goods that combine the five theatrical works with products from the three Hokuriku prefectures (available only via crowdfunding).
