Studio Ghibli, the renowned Japanese anime studio, received an honorary Palme d바카라Or at the Grand Théâtre Lumière on Monday at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. Gorō Miyazaki, the head of creative development at the studio, accepted the award from Juan Antonia Bayona, a member of the Feature Film Jury and a huge admirer of Ghibli바카라s work.
바카라We바카라re all here because we바카라re besotted with this Japanese animation,바카라 exclaimed Thierry Frémaux in his opening speech, adding, 바카라For the very first time, Iris Knobloch and I decided to award the honorary Palme d바카라or to a studio, rather than a single creative. And what a studio! Represented by Gorō Miyazaki, I give you the Studio Ghibli!바카라 In other words, this is the first time a group has received this award instead of a single person.
Prior to the trophy being handed over, a nine-minute compilation showcasing highlights from Studio Ghibli바카라s movies was screened, encapsulating its poetic artistry and ingenuity. This celebration of Studio Ghibli followed closely after the long-awaited success of 바카라The Boy and the Heron,바카라 which had won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film back in March.
The founder, Hayao Miyazaki, was unable to attend the film festival but expressed his gratitude through a video message. His son, Gorō Miyazaki, a talented director known for works like 바카라From Up on Poppy Hill,바카라 had the honour of accepting the award on behalf of the studio, its museum, and theme park.
Upon receiving the award, Gorō Miyazaki quipped, 바카라When we won the Oscar for 바카라The Boy and the Heron,바카라 the Ghibli representatives came home with a statue, but it wasn바카라t in a box; they had to wrap it in a hotel towel to transport it back. So I바카라m very glad to see this Palme is nicely packaged!바카라
The director emphasized that the award belonged not only to the teams behind Studio Ghibli but also to the public, 바카라Ghibli was launched 40 years ago by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and Tokuma Shoten. They may be the studio바카라s biggest contributors, but I want to extend this award to all the hard-working teams. This is an honour owed to all those who have loved our films, too. I바카라d like to thank all Ghibli fans.바카라
In a gesture of gratitude, the studio treated the audience to four Hayao Miyazaki shorts, three of which had never been shown outside of Japan, 바카라Mei and the Kittenbus,바카라 바카라Looking for a Home,바카라 바카라Mr. Dough and the Egg Princess,바카라 and 바카라Boro the Caterpillar.바카라
Previously, on the opening ceremony on May 14, Meryl Streep was awarded the Palme d바카라Or. The Cannes Film Festival will end on May 25.
