Sponsoring and Exhibiting at the 33rd Kineko International Film Festival, an International Film Festival for Children
Pacific Consultants Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer: Satoko Okano) will sponsor and exhibit at the Kineko International Film Festival, which will be held at Futako Tamagawa Rise Central Plaza from Friday, October 30 to Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
■What is the Kineko International Film Festival?
The Kineko International Film Festival (hereinafter referred to as "the festival") is one of Asia's largest international film festivals for children. First held in 1992 with the cooperation of the children's film section of the Berlin International Film Festival, the festival celebrates its 33rd edition this year.
During the festival, 59 carefully selected feature films and shorts (45 competition films and 14 special screenings) will be screened from a collection of approximately 700 high-quality children's films gathered from around the world. In addition to fun and exciting movies, we will also screen films that evoke a variety of emotions, providing a cinematic experience that offers learning opportunities, such as raising awareness of social issues, for both children and adults. Furthermore, the most distinctive feature of this film festival is its screening method. To allow audiences to enjoy films from around the world, produced in various languages, in Japanese, we will offer "Live Cinema," where professional voice actors dub the films live while watching the screen. This will provide an immersive experience, as if you were having a picture book read to you while watching a movie.

■Exhibition Overview

Venue: Futako Tamagawa Rise Central Plaza
Theme: Create, Connect, Protect. You are the designer!
We will be holding an interactive workshop for preschool, elementary, and junior high school students, where children can freely design their own unique town based on three themes: roads (cars and railways), the environment, and community development. Using stickers, tape, and markers, parents and children, or siblings, can enjoy the experience of building a town together.
Through our sponsorship and participation in this film festival, we hope to foster children's creativity and diverse values, and support the development of the people who will lead society into the future. We will continue to value our connections with the local community and contribute to the realization of a more prosperous society through our support of cultural and artistic activities.
