Japan's Studio Ghibli fans have a special treat this autumn, with several events scheduled at the studio's theme park in Aichi Prefecture. The first is a screening of a new Studio Ghibli short directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son, Goro, who is also the park's director. The film, A Night in the Valley of the Witches, has already attracted global interest as it is the first new Ghibli short anime since 2018.
The short began screening in the park's Orion cinema in July, and will continue through September and October. But for the first time, a special outdoor nighttime screening will be held exclusively for elementary school-age children. The film follows a new hire at Ghibli Park who encounters unexplained phenomena after working the night shift for the first time.
The screening will take place in the park's Valley of Witches, featuring buildings connected to Ghibli's witchy films. Parents are required to accompany their children to the park for the screening.
