Miyazaki: Spirit of Nature

This engrossing and inspirational journey into the imagination of legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki examines not only his 40 year career but how his films are informed by his views on nature. Featuring interviews – and liberal animation extracts – with Miyazaki, his son, friends, collaborators and philosophers like Timothy Morton, the film delves into his inner universe and
influences. As the film reveals, spirit beings and strange animals may populate his films, but references to pollution, nature and the perils of human impact on the environment are always to be found.
