A kaleidoscopic section of refreshingly offbeat comedies, fantasies, and dramas that stir the emotions of both, enthusiasts and the general public. This year’s lineup features a vibrant array of films that tap into global pop culture trends, including pop idol romances and the increasingly popular aesthetic of cassette futurism. Audiences can enjoy a wide spectrum of styles and stories—from lively and spirited coming-of-age films to comic musicals, cult animations, horror homage documentaries, and bold first attempts at classic drama—each offering its own unique charm.
