Vancouver, BC | The Cinematheque’s popular family friendly Cinema Sunday series presents adored Japanese auteur Hayao Miyazaki’s remarkable second feature, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984). This film was Miyazaki’s breakthrough: it was the first film over which he had complete artistic control, and its success led to the founding of Studio Ghibli, home to some of the most magical and beloved animated movies ever made.

Sunday, Aug 21 – 1pm Matinée

Set in a devastated future world decimated by atmospheric poisons and swarming with gigantic insects, Nausicaä is the story of a young princess, both brave and innocent, whose love for all living things leads her into terrible danger, sacrifice, and eventual triumph. There are few films, animated or otherwise, of such sweeping scope and grandeur.

In consideration of our all-ages audience, the English-dubbed version will be screened.

“Cinémathèques now take on a job parallel to what museums do with painting and sculpture.  They assemble, sort, analyze and exhibit the culture of the world.”  Robert Fulford, The Globe & Mail
