Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘The Boy and the Heron’ will open TIFF23, the first time an animated movie will serve as the fest’s opening night film.
Now the festival, which runs September 7–17, has announced that for the first time ever, an animated film will open the event:Written and directed by the esteemed Japanese filmmaker and produced by the studio he cofounded, Studio Ghibli, the movie centers on a boy who finds an abandoned tower and enters into a fantastical world with a talking gray heron.
Studio Ghibli made the unprecedented move of opening the hand-drawn, animated feature—Miyazaki’s first feature film in 10 years—in Japan without any promotion or marketing, so that audiences could experience it without any preconceived notions. It opened to record-breaking success in Japan, and will be released later this year in the US by GKIDS.
