Overview

When it comes to making movie magic for the masses, no one does it quite like Studio Ghibli. Yes, they're not the only animation house that makes affecting, amusing and all-round delightful fare for all ages — but there's something distinctive about their finely crafted pieces of cinema.

That's reason enough for Redland Performing Arts Centre to put together another instalment in their yearly tribute, aka the Studio Ghibli Film Festival. On July 29 and 30, three of the studio's classic hits will brighten up RPAC's big screen. Yes, it is worth driving to Cleveland to see them.

At 1pm, discover just what happens when a girl grows from a bamboo stalk in The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Then, dive into the world of fighter plane design in The Wind Rises at 4pm, followed by the ecological adventure Tales from Earthsea at 7pm. Everything screens twice — not just because each film is excellent, but because Friday's sessions will be captioned for the hearing-impaired.
