Hayao Miyazaki

For the first time in Hayao Miyazaki's decades-spanning career, the 82-year-old Japanese anime master is No. 1 at the North American box office. Miyazaki's latest enchantment, "The Boy and the Heron," debuted with $12.8 million, according to studio estimates.

Oscar-winning animator Hayao Miyazaki's highly-anticipated film - his first feature in a decade and probably his last - was released in Japan on July 14.

The 82-year-old Miyazaki, co-founder of the celebrated anime house Ghibli, came out of retirement to make "How Do You Live?"

Beyond the gates, a whimsical world awaits, complete with a fluffy Cat Bus, the toothy grin of Totoro and a life-sized No-Face seated on a train: welcome to Ghibli Park.

On Oct. 12, media got a sneak peek at the highly anticipated new theme park from Studio Ghibli, creator of beloved titles like "My Neighbour Totoro" and Oscar-winning "Spirited Away."

The Istanbul Modern Cinema will present a film program to run parallel to the 15th Istanbul Biennial, which takes "a good neighbor" as its theme. 

Based on the notion of neighborhood, the program looks at our ways of sharing the same locality. 

Japan cannot use military strength to counter China, Hayao Miyazaki, famed director of the Oscar-winning film "Spirited Away", said on July 13, as he joined a chorus of protest against a change in Japan's security policy.
