GKIDS has released a new trailer for Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki — the documentary on the iconic, Oscar-winning director and Studio Ghibli co-founder will screen in U.S. theaters on December 13 and 18 thru Fathom Events.
Synopsis: In 2013, Academy Award-winning film director and animator Hayao Miyazaki suddenly announced his retirement at the age of 72. But he can’t shake his burning desire to create. After an encounter with young CGI animators, Miyazaki embarks on a new project to utilize CGI for the first time ever. But the artist, who has been adamant about hand-drawn animation, confronts many challenges that threaten to cancel the film. Can an old master who thinks he’s past his prime shine once again? This program goes behind the scenes over two years as Miyazaki overcomes struggles to create his short film Boro the Caterpillar using CGI.
Tickets are available now from www.fathomevents.com and www.neverendingman.com, or at participating box offices (list of theaters on the Fathom Events site).
