It might not be true.<br /><br />I think you're going on the wrong crusade here. I doubt Miyazaki's concerned with which festivals will play his films and is constantly scheming to get them selected. He's a man still very passionate about animation at his age, not willing to retire while he can still create... Just like you. We can all be thankful for both your spirits. <br /><br />Maybe you didn't like this particular movie, but plenty of people did, and his work IS a big draw. There's enough good reasons for a festival to program the film besides 'it's his last one'.<br /><br />You say it yourself: "But I do know that festivals tend to be very stingy in programming animation, and you rarely see more that one animated feature per festival". You should be fighting the festivals. Maybe you dare not to attack them, being afraid they won't select your future work if you don't suck up to them. But why go easy on them and attack a kindred spirit instead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
