Recorded live to coincide with the RSC’s stage adaptation of My Neighbour Totoro in the Barbican Theatre, this episode celebrates how Studio Ghibli portrays the wonder of nature and how this can open conversations around environmentalism and sustainability.
Does animation help or hinder our ability to appreciate the natural world? Can animation be a more sustainable alternative to live-action filmmaking and still drive positive change?

Where: Barbican, Conservatory Terrace
