The full list of "Aya and the Witch" selected for the 73rd Cannes International Film Festival has been announced

The feature-length animation "Aya and the Witch", planned by Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Goro Miyazaki, has recently been selected as a candidate for the 73rd Cannes International Film Festival's animated feature film. This is also the only Japanese animated film selected for this year's film festival. Let's look forward to it together.

"Aya and the Witch" is expected to be broadcast on NHK in the winter of 2020. This work is adapted from the original novel of the same name by Diana Wynne Jones, the author of "Howl's Moving Castle". This is the first attempt by Studio Ghibli to use 3DCG for the entire animation. "Aya and the Witch" is planned by Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Goro Miyazaki. It tells the wonderful story of a girl who doesn't know her own life experience and a strange and evil witch living together.
