Studio Ghibli Festival

Starting on June 25, Friends of Mukai will once again reprise its popular Mukai Studio Ghibli Festival series, scheduled for every two weeks, on Tuesday evenings, in partnership with Vashon Theatre.

The first film in the series, “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind,” will be shown at 7 p.m.

The 1984 masterpiece by Hayao Miyasaki is the post-apocalyptic tale of Princess Nausicaa, who struggles to unite warring kingdoms amid the chaos caused by environmental destruction.

Adam Foster, founder of the Mukai Studio Ghibli Festival said the festival got its start with an afterschool anime club for kids ages 12-18, at Mukai Farm & Garden.

“The club used anime as a way to learn about Japanese folklore,” he said. “Studio Ghibli’s founder, Hayao Miyasaki drew much of its material from Japanese folk tales.”

Foster also said that Miyazaki’s films have strong, well-written female leads and strong environmental messages.

“‘Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind’ is a good example, because it’s about a princess trying to convince warring tribes of men that the only way to survive environmental destruction is by learning to live in harmony with nature,” he said.

Other 7 p.m. screenings scheduled in the series are “Castle in the Sky” (July 9); “Spirited Away” (July 23); “My Neighbor Totoro” (Aug. 6); and “Princess Mononoke” (Aug. 20).
