Hayao Miyazaki x airplanes 🛩

Miyazaki has long held a fascination for aviation, stemming from his childhood and his father's work in aircraft manufacturing. From a respect for the mechanics and engineering required for human flight through to what flying can represent symbolically - freedom, independence, transcendence - this passion shows up frequently in his work.

One of the strongest examples is surely PORCO ROSSO (1992), the animated adventure of a former WWI fighter pilot-turned-bounty hunter cursed with the head of a pig. Light-hearted, silly and absurd, PORCO ROSSO is perhaps Ghibli's most "blockbuster"-esque outing, however it is grounded by its serious themes and backdrop of the rise of facism in Italy.

See it this Wednesday 3 June in its original Japanese or the English-dub on Sunday 7 June as part of our The World of Studio Ghibli series.

This Wednesday night, the Ukrainian Film Festival Australia kicks off at Lido with an opening night screening of CUBA & ALASKA.

Best-friends “Cuba” & “Alaska”, wisecracking medics on Ukraine’s frontline, live the same battlefield story as all soldiers: slowly losing connections with friends, family and their previous lives the longer they stand up for Ukraine. With war so deeply rooted in them, can the two ever go back to the life they used to know?
