Miyazaki Showcase in Cinemas by Madman Cinema

In 1985 Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli, often referred to as the Disney of the East. Since then, he has produced many of the Studio's most outstanding films and is recognised as one of Japan's most visionary directors and as an icon in the field of animation. Known primarily to Australian audiences for his films Mononoke Hime (PRINCESS MONONOKE) and Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (SPIRITED AWAY), this showcase gives Australian viewers the opportunity to see some of his earlier.
For the very first time in Australian cinemas: all on 35mm print, feature length in Japanese with English subtitles. Screening for a limited season only at each location.
