Studio Ghibli’s stunning films—marked by exquisite artistry, emotionally resonant themes, and absolutely memorable flights of fantasy—have forever altered the animated feature. Founded in Tokyo in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, Studio Ghibli has won wide recognition and countless awards as one of the world's foremost animation studios. The studio’s stories of youthful protagonists, often young girls, who have transformative adventures filled with courage and vulnerability, tribulation and triumph, stir a familiar yet wondrous sense of the world. Once seen, who can ever forget the pudgy wood spirits of My Neighbor Totoro, the great hovering edifice of Howl’s Moving Castle, or the fearless wolf-goddesses of Princess Mononoke?
We are delighted to present the full range of Studio Ghibli’s output, from films that enthrall younger audiences such as Ponyo and Kiki’s Delivery Service, to the more darkly delicious spectacles of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Whisper of the Heart. A centerpiece of our tribute is From Up on Poppy Hill, the latest feature by Goro Miyazaki, Hayao’s son, a coming-of-age story that realistically captures early 1960s Japan.
Even if you already treasure Studio Ghibli's films on DVD, you won't want to miss this chance to appreciate their breathtaking beauty as it was meant to be seen: on the big screen.
Special note: Most films will be presented in their original form with English subtitles, but a select group intended for younger audiences will be shown dubbed in English.
