Join us for this classic anime from the creator of gems such as Princess Mononoke and Howl’s Moving Castle. Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli brings us the tale of Nausicaä, the young teenage princess of the Valley of the Wind. She becomes embroiled in a struggle with Tolmekia, a kingdom that tries to use an ancient weapon to eradicate a jungle full of giant mutant insects.
After the movie, we will dive deeper into the sustainability themes it raises with U of A scholars, who will offer expert insight into what Nausicaa has to teach us about life on land, sustainable cities and communities, and more.
This event is generously sponsored by the Prince Takamado Japan Centre.
This event is part of the University of Alberta International Week, Feb. 6-10. Click here to learn more.
The discussion will be led by:
