'We will continue to create. - We want to realize a film festival in the birthplace of P.A.WORKS' crowdfunding visual

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 projects. Last year, marking its 25th anniversary, the company reached a milestone of five original theatrical films. To commemorate this, a film festival event gathering all five theatrical works will be held in Johana, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, the company's birthplace.

Prior to this, from Friday, April 10 at noon to Sunday, May 31 at 11:59 PM, we will conduct a crowdfunding campaign on Campfire, one of Japan's largest platforms, titled 'We will continue to create. - We want to realize a film festival in the birthplace of P.A.WORKS' (14 tiers in total).

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

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