PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry will kick off its eighth annual Studio Ghibli Film Fest on March 3. OMSI’s celebration of the beloved Japanese animation studio’s catalog will feature regular screenings in its Empirical Theater, which boasts the largest movie screen in Portland.
Studio Ghibli movies will be shown on most weekday during the festival, with the exception of Mondays. The festival runs through April 2, and will also feature guest speakers and an opening-night celebration centered around the 10th anniversary of “The Wind Rises,” director Hayao Miyazaki’s biography of Japanese aviation engineer Jiro Horikoshi.
“For more than 30 years, Japan’s Studio Ghibli has created some of the most revered and beloved animated works and characters and established itself as one of the world’s finest producers of animated motion pictures in the world,” OMSI said. “With a reputation for lush visuals, attention to detail and epic storytelling, Studio Ghibli creates intelligent, poetic, often fanciful films that embrace family, community, and a deep concern for the environment.”
Festival tickets are $7.50 for adults, $6 for children and $6.50 for seniors. Discounts are available for OMSI Members and large groups. See the festival’s full schedule below.
