NEW CHITOSE 2025 is excited to announce the official selection for the FEATURE FILM Competition. From 63 films submitted from 29 countries/regions, 5 films are selected. The films are screened in the New Chitose Airport Theater during the festival (November 21st-25th) and judged by the international jury.

The official selection for the Feature Film Competition lineup: From Spain comes DECORADO, the latest film by director Alberto VÁZQUEZ, known for Psychonauts and Unicorn Wars. From Canada, brothers Peter and Seth SCRIVER present their feature-length documentary Endless Cookie (Japan Premiere), an Annecy Contrechamp Grand Prize winner, which animates nearly nine years of conversations between two brothers who have lived very different lives. From China, director CHEN Xi, who gained a cult following in Japan after the release of his earlier film Chicken on the Mound, returns with his new feature film Girlfriends of Father (World Premiere). From Mexico, Aria COVAMONAS—an experimental filmmaker who tragically passed away in July this year at the age of 46—leaves behind her debut animated feature The Great History of Western Philosophy (Japan Premiere). Representing Japan is JINSEI, the feature debut of director SUZUKI Ryuya, whose Lawless Love won the Japan Grand Prix at this festival in 2022. Produced by acclaimed filmmaker IWAISAWA Kenji, director of 100 Meters, this nationwide release has already attracted significant attention in Japan.
Thank you very much for all submitters, filmmakers, producers and distributors!
