Join us for a special screening to celebrate the work of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. As a part of this year's DC Environmental Film Festival, we will be showing the brand-new documentary Miyazaki, Spirit of Nature at the AFI Silver Theatre.
For over 50 years, Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has been enchanting the world with his animation. His 12 feature films (including My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and The Boy and The Heron), 10 shorts and several manga form a luminous body of work, full of now-iconic characters. Often autobiographical, Miyazaki's films also reflect the state of the world, frequently referencing the wars and ecological disasters of the 20th and 21st centuries to create profound works of art that question our relationship with the natural world and living beings. Thanks to exceptional access granted by Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki, Spirit of Nature uses numerous film excerpts and rare archival material from Japanese television to uncover the life of Miyazaki and his profoundly ecological body of work. Thinkers like anthropologist Philippe Descola and philosopher Timothy Morton; family members such as Miyazaki's son, film director Gorō Miyazaki; and collaborators, including his longtime producer and friend Toshio Suzuki, bring us closer to this tireless, obsessive and mysterious artist. |
