And so happy Glints mentioned Future Boy Conan!

Yesterday was epic! Thank you to everyone who came along to our special afternoon retrospective of the films of Gints Zilbalodis at Curzon Soho, feat. FLOW, AWAY, 2 shorts and a remote Q&A with @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social himself! πŸˆβ€β¬›

Very good @ghibliotheque.bsky.social event showcasing the films of Oscar winner Gints Zilbalodis β€” 2 shorts then features AWAY and FLOW, plus a virtual masterclass with the man himself in between

I've had this interview with Gints in the can since October and now the UK release of Flow is finally almost here, I can release it! Great chat about a great film.

I happened to notice this in a book listing today: "The late Dani Cavallaro wrote widely about literature, cultural theory, and anime. She lived in London." This is the first time I have seen that she had passed away. mzs.press/The-Anime-Ar...

What a great way to introduce a "soft launch" of my new Hayao Miyazaki (Ghibli Studio) section at our store. I'm currently filling it out today with new items on hand, both books & merchandise! This was one of the 1st new titles I added and it's definitely FANTASTIC!

Happy #WorldBookDay, folks! πŸ“š Thank you to everyone who has picked up our books over the years. We are so lucky to have had the chance to write *five* books on animation and cinema. It's a dream gig. (And there's a sixth on the way... 🀫)

It's a whole loada Zilbalodis!

I'm often asked about female filmmakers who work in animation and, as it happens, we're hosting a double bill of films from one of the very best, Naoko Yamada, on International Women's Day, at the Finsbury Park Picturehouse!

FLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†πŸ†

You've probably seen me banging on about how the BFI National Archive is now collecting online video works. Well, you can recommend works and put them on the team's radar via this form: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/3H3LY4/

This has been in the work for months and months, so I'm glad that we're able to announce this double bill. Come and celebrate the work of one of the brightest stars around!

Thanks to @ghibliotheque.bsky.social I watched Tokyo Godfathers last night and would like to thank them for introducing me to such a quirky, heartwarming film.

Yessssss! I encourage you to celebrate by watching the fantastic β€˜10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki’ on NHK (for free.) It’s one of the best documentaries on the creative process I’ve seen. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Happy birthday to the one and only Hayao Miyazaki! 84 years old today! πŸŽ‚

Dear friends around the world - Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is streaming on Netflix now! Watch it (it's ace!) and then listen to our TWO podcasts on it! 🎧

Bought a job lot of Wallace and Gromit salt and pepper shakers (given away for free with Typhoo teabags in 1996) as Christmas/wrap presents for the pod gang.

Despicable Me 4 deservedly getting a place over The Colors Within, Look Back, Chicken For Linda, Olivia & the Clouds,
