The Studio Ghibli Film Festival is coming to Perth on November 21 and over 18 days is showing 15 iconic titles from the legendary Japanese anime studio, Studio Ghibli.

All films are being shown at the newly restored and heritage-listed Como Theatre (formally the Cygnet Theatre, built in 1938) and presented on 35mm film for an authentic cinematic experience.

This is an Australia first and ideal for fans of Japanese anime, film lovers and anyone wanting to give themselves, or their kids, a traditional cinema experience. It’s also a rare opportunity to indulge in these beloved films as they were meant to be seen - on the big screen and in their original Japanese language with English subtitles. For those who prefer to experience the magic of Studio Ghibli in English, select dubbed screenings are also available.

Screenings will take place at various times of day with both matinees and evening screenings to cater for all ages and preferences.
