Studio Ghibli Easter Season on Film4 (Updated)
posted on by Andrew Osmond
The channel Film4 has announced a season of twenty-two Studio Ghibli and Ghibli-related films, showing from March 28 to April 12. The films will be shown in the morning or late afternoon (dubs) or in the early hours (subs).
The screenings include every Studio Ghibli film from Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind to The Wind Rises (pictured), plus the pre-Ghibli films The Little Norse Prince and Castle of Cagliostro. Spirited Away and The Wind Rises are each shown twice in the current schedule.
The listings below are subject to change. (NB: From the ordering of the listings, it appears that the dates for the early-morning screenings in the listing are technically one day early. E.g. It appears that the screening of The Little Norse Prince listed as 2.05 a.m. on April 1 refers to a screening that is technically in the early hours of April 2.)
