P.A.WORKS is headquartered in Nanto City, Toyama, and will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2025. The film festival will screen five films that the company has worked on to date: ``Hanasaku Iroha the Movie: HOME SWEET HOME'', ``Let's Decorate the Promised Flower on the Morning of Goodbye'', ``SHIROBAKO the Movie'', ``Welcome to Komada Distillery'', and ``Dive in Wonderland''. Each film will be screened with live commentary from the production team. A teach-in will also be held where the audience can directly exchange opinions with the production team.
The film festival's logo is a map of the three prefectures of Hokuriku with Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture pinned on it, cut out of movie film. The letters "2013-2025" represent the years of release from P.A.WORKS's first theatrical original work to the latest work. In addition, we will be creating collaborative visuals for the films that will be screened as the main visuals for the film festival. Collaboration visuals will be used in pamphlets and goods, and will also be delivered as returns for crowdfunding. In addition to the crowdfunding returns, there were also collaboration items such as S seats at the film festival and collaboration items between screened films and Hokuriku specialties.
In addition, P.A.WORKS has also announced the start of its own original animation project, ``Lantern Kai''. ``Lantern Kai'' is a project that will hold screenings around the country with new original works, and is scheduled to start touring in 2028. In conjunction with the film festival, a pre-event will be held simultaneously at the Nanto City Creator Plaza next to the company's headquarters.
