Good news all Studio Ghibli fans in the US: this summer, the studio’s renowned films will air in theaters across the country as part of the Studio Ghibli Fest.
In line with the event, Ghibli distributor GKIDS has released an exclusive 90-second snippet from the 2013 documentary The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. It focuses on a moment shared between Hayao Miyazaki and filmmaker Mami Sunada during the production of The Wind Rises. Miyazaki notices a neighbor watering his plants, before his imagination rapidly takes over to conjure a scene comprising an epic chase across rooftops.
“Suddenly, there in your humdrum town is a magical movie…isn’t it fun to see things this way?” says Miyazaki inside the clip.
Studio Ghibli Fest will air My Neighbor Totoro in June, followed by Kiki’s Delivery Service in July, Castle in the Sky in August, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in September, Spirited Away in October, and Howl’s Moving Castle in November.
Also, surprising no one, Hayao Miyazaki has come out of retirement to make a new feature-length film. We’re waiting!
