Miyazaki

The TV card is vindicated! News just in is that SBS is showing a series of films by the anime director Miyazaki. Miyazaki is probably most famous in the West for his Academy Award-winning film Spirited Away, but he's made plenty of others. The ones I've seen have been thoughtful, amusing, original films.
On Wednesday, 28 September, SBS screens Ghibli: The Miyazaki Temple. This documentary looks at the growth of Japanese animated cinema through the world of Miyazaki and his Ghibli studio. The documentary will be followed by the Miyazaki film Porco Rosso. Throughout October, four Miyazaki films will screen on SBS including Laputa:Castle in the Sky, 10pm Wednesday 2 October; Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, 10pm Wednesday 9 October; Kiki's Delivery Service, 10pm Wednesday 16 October; and Spirited Away 10pm Wednesday 23October.
