Cloud Funding for "P.A.WORKS Original Animation Film Festival in Hokuriku" to be held in March 2027 Starts April 10th!

Animation production company P.A.WORKS aims for a vision of "becoming a production company that continues to create original works in the 2030s." The company has produced many original works, and last year, celebrating its 25th anniversary, the number of original theatrical films reached five. To commemorate this, a film festival event bringing together these five theatrical films will be held in Nanto City, Jyo-hana, Toyama Prefecture, the birthplace of the company.

In preparation for this, from 12:00 PM on April 10th (Friday) to 11:59 PM on May 31st (Sunday), a cloud funding campaign titled "We will continue to create. - We want to realize a film festival in the birthplace of P.A.WORKS" (14 courses in total) will be conducted on Campfire, one of Japan's largest crowdfunding platforms.

At the film festival, screenings will be held in a special format combining "Live Commentary Screenings" with invited production staff related to the five films, and "Teach-ins" where direct Q&A with the production staff is possible. With screenings on a large 350-inch screen, you can immerse yourself in the world of the films to your heart's content. Film festival tickets are available in two types: S seats (front row on the first floor), allowing you to enjoy the screening close to the guests, and A seats (back row on the first floor + second floor), suitable for viewing the film. S seats will only be available through the cloud funding campaign.

As the main visual for the film festival, with the understanding of the rights holders and related parties of the five theatrical films, a "PA Theatrical 5-Film Special Collaboration Visual" will be created with the cooperation of P.A.WORKS. Special pamphlets and merchandise created to commemorate the film festival will be delivered to you, and plans are underway to allow you to keep the memories of the film festival. Additionally, limited premium merchandise (exclusive to the cloud funding campaign) that collaborates the five theatrical films with products from the three Hokuriku prefectures will be prepared over nearly a year.
