Studio Ghibli Season — CANCELLED

Overview

If there's one thing Brisbanites like, it's watching Studio Ghibli films. Understandably, a whole heap of cinemas around town have been happy to oblige over the years, hosting various events dedicated to the Japanese animation house. The Elizabeth Picture Theatre joined in a few years ago and, to the surprise of no one, it was a hit. Indeed, it was such a success that the venue keeps bringing its Studio Ghibli season back — including in 2020.

Screening twice a week from mid-April to mid-June, fans will get yet another chance to catch Studio Ghibli's gorgeous features on the big screen. Yes, you should make like a moving castle to see Howl's Moving Castle this time. And yes, you'll feel like you've been Spirited Away once again.

Other highlights include Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, Grave of Fireflies and Laputa: Castle in the Sky. If you've missed these films in their limited cinema runs or fest appearances in the past, consider this your chance to catch up (and at only $10 per session).

The Elizabeth Picture Theatre's Studio Ghibli Season screens on Thursdays from 6pm and Sundays from 4pm — running between Thursday, April 16–Sunday, June 14.
