New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival 2023

2023.11.2(THU)-11.6(MON)
New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival is an animation festival dedicated to animated films held at the terminal building of New Chitose Airport (Hokkaido, Japan), which connects Hokkaido with the rest of the world as an entertainment airport. We will have the commemorative 10th edition: 2nd – 6th November, 2023. The festival not only attracts attention as one of the few film festivals in the world where all screenings, lodgings, and stays are completed at the airport but also boasts the largest number of entries in the competition section in Japan. It has now grown into one of Japan’s top animation film festivals. NEW CHITOSE is returning to an in-person edition in 2023. See you at New Chitose Airport in November.
