I stopped using this site (formerly Twitter) to share professional news due to the preponderance of fake accounts, racist users, and genAI slop here. Nevertheless I provided this quote to celebrate the incredible power of PRINCESS MONONOKE in IMAX this weekend. Please see it.
Gkids, the North American distributor for Studio Ghibli films, is using a statement about a “Princess Mononoke” re-release to perhaps make an oblique commentary on the recent release of an AI tool that replicates the style of the studio.
In a statement, Chance Huskey, VP of distribution for GKids, said, “In a time when technology tries to replicate humanity, we are thrilled that audiences value a theatrical experience that respects and celebrates Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece in all its cinematic hand-drawn glory.” https://t.co/1NKPxEdAnS

Been hearing some beautiful takes from artists on how LOOK BACK has inspired them to create. Here are a few more films you should watch to keep that creative spark lit. 🧵✨
The wonderful Japanese animated film LOOK BACK is playing in theaters right now. It’s a story about 2 young aspiring mangakas and how their bond enriches their artistic creation. It’s animated with a dreamlike luminosity that pairs perfectly with the story’s heightened emotions.
Kiyotaka Oshiyama's LOOK BACK delivered a mighty $72k in just 2 theaters in NY/LA this weekend.
GKIDS goes nationwide with event screenings today and tomorrow.
Look Back by director @binobinobi and studio @durian_inc is a stunning achievement - easily one of the year's best films. Please see this in theaters!!!
