Ghibli @ Milkyway (NL)

If you're a Ghibli-fan and you'll be in Amsterdam in March, you definitely should plan a visit to the Melkweg. From 9th till 30th of March, the cinema of Melkweg will show some of the beautiful movies of Ghibli.

A Jumi-must-see-recommendation is Grave of the Fireflies (1988).
This story is about the life of a boy and his little sister during the World War II, who are trying to survive without family. It's a sad story, but definitely worth watching it (one of my Ghibli favorites)!

And there will be a NATIONAL PREMIER:
The Borrower Arriety, the newest production of Ghibli, will be shown for the first time in the Netherlands, on the 9th of March. The movie is based on the childrensbook of Mary Nortons, about little people who are living peacefull and quietly under the floor of a house, until a boy Arriety discovers them.

You can also watch other Ghibli movies: Princess Mononoke, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Pompoko, Porco Rosso, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, My neighbor Totoro, The cat returns, Ponyo, Whisper of the Heart and Tales from Earthsea. The last movie is from Goro Miyazaki (son of Hayao Miyazaki), who's coming with a new movie Kokurikozaka Kara. Check out the website of Melkweg for more info www.melkweg.nl

For now, enjoy this beautiful live performance of the song Tonari no Totoro, here at Jumi!
