The Concierge at Hokkyoku Department Store(HKAFF2023)

Silver Audience Award, Best Asian Film, Fantasia Film Festival
Competition, Annecy International Animated Film Festival

It’s hard enough to be a concierge at a high-end department store. What if your entire clientele is animals? Welcome to the Arctic Department Store, a one-of-a-kind department store that serves only animals — including endangered species. As a trainee concierge, Akino must learn to entertain her clients’ every request, no matter how difficult they maybe. Based on an award-winning manga, the latest animation from Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade) is a gorgeously rendered and fantastical charmer that will melt the hearts of animal lovers.
