Oscar-winning director to receive lifetime achievement award at UC Berkeley

Publishers Weekly journalist Kai-Ming Cha reports in her personal blog that Hayao Miyazaki, the director of the only feature-length Japanese animated film (Spirited Away) to have won an Oscar, will visit the United States in late July. Miyazaki is making the rare American trip to receive the second annual Berkeley Japan Prize for lifetime achievement, presented by the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He will be presented with the award on July 25, and will participate in a talk hosted by Japanese popular culture scholar Roland Kelts (Japanimerica). According to Cha, Miyazaki’s contract with Disney requires him to make a U.S. appearance.

Japanese writer Haruki Murakami received the first Berkeley Japan Prize in October. Miyazaki will receive his prize on the same weekend that Comic-Con International takes place in San Diego (500 miles or 800 kilometers south of Berkeley) from July 23 to July 26.

The nonprofit organization Film Independent has announced on Monday that Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo will be the closing night film of the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival on June 28. The story follows an ordinary boy named Sosuke (Frankie Jonas) and his friendship with Ponyo (Noah Cyrus), a goldfish who wishes to be human. The other castmembers include Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Cloris Leachman, Liam Neeson, Lily Tomlin, and Betty White.

Walt Disney Pictures will open the film throughout the United States on August 14. TOHO released the film in Japan last July, and it became Japan’s highest grossing film of 2008. The Los Angeles Film Festival is also showing three live-action films from Japan: Tadashi Mori’s Panda Diary, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Still Walking, and Koji Wakamatsu’s United Red Army.
