Japanese animation powerhouse Studio Ghibli is set to receive the prestigious Honorary Palme d’Or at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
“For the first time in our history, it’s not a person but an institution that we have chosen to celebrate. Like all the icons of the Seventh Art, these characters populate our imaginations with prolific, colorful universes and sensitive, engaging narrations,” Cannes president Iris Knobloch and general delegate Thierry Fremaux said in a statement.
On the other hand, the Studio Ghibli expressed it’s gratitude and honor to receive the prestigious award.“I am truly honored and delighted that the studio is awarded the Honorary Palme d’Or,” Suzuki said in a statement. I would like to thank the Festival de Cannes from the bottom of my heart,” said Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki in a statement.
“Forty years ago, Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and I established Studio Ghibli with the desire to bring high-level, high-quality animation to children and adults of all ages. Today, our films are watched by people all over the world, and many visitors come to the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka and Ghibli Park to experience the world of our films for themselves,” he continued.
