40 YEARS OF STUDIO GHIBLI
This August and September, we celebrate 40 years of Studio Ghibli, the legendary animation studio that redefined what animated cinema could be. Coinciding with the release of not one but two new documentaries about Hayao Miyazaki, and a brand-new 4K restoration of his masterpiece Princess Mononoke, our program brings some of the studio’s most beloved films back to the big screen.
From magical journeys and shape-shifting spirits to strong heroines and stunning hand-drawn worlds, these films continue to enchant audiences of all ages. Whether you’re revisiting old favourites or discovering them for the first time, this is a rare chance to experience Ghibli’s magic in cinemas. Few filmmakers have shaped the imagination of generations like Miyazaki, and few studios have left such a lasting mark. Join us in honouring their legacy with this special anniversary selection of some of Japan’s greatest anime classics.
