Background and Purpose

ANIAFF was born in Nagoya, Aichi in 2025. As a global and one of the world's largest international film festivals that combines the power of Nagoya's industry and culture, it was held with the aim of providing a place for creators from all over the world to gather, talk, and inspire each other.

This time, the second time, many films will be screened at screening facilities such as Midland Square Cinema and Midland Square Cinema 2 in Nagoya, including the "International Feature Competition", which is the same as last year's "International Competition", the "Director Focus", which spotlights domestic and foreign directors, special screenings, all-night screenings, invited screenings, and event screenings.
