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 are excited to announce the 11th edition of the festival: November 1-5, 2024.

Launched in 2014, the festival has been providing an exciting experience that is only possible as a one-of-a-kind “airport festival” and we gathered about 35,000 attendees last year.
The coming 11th edition will continue to present various programs delivering the look of animation “today” from various perspectives such as special screenings and guest speakers of films the festival picked to feature, in addition to the Competition section which is the main event of the festival receiving more than 2,000 entries from around the world each year.
