This year’s STUDIO GHIBLI FEST is scheduled to begin March 25th with the 35th Anniversary screening of Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro. It is set to include more screening dates than ever before. The lineup also includes the 15th Anniversary screenings of Ponyo, the 10th Anniversary screenings of The Wind Rises, and the first-ever North American screenings of SPIRITED AWAY: Live On Stage, featuring two separate performances filmed during the production’s acclaimed run in Tokyo last year.
Studio Ghibli is one of the world’s most acclaimed animation studios, housing the works of visionary animation directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. The studio is known for an extensive host of Academy Awards and Oscar Award-nominated animated classics, including Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and The Wind Rises.
