My film festival will be based on Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. The reason is because I grew up with his films and how I developed a love for his style in his movies. My first movie from him was My Neighbor Totoro which is one of the most famous characters in Japan (As how Mickey Mouse is in America) and is the logo of his studio, Studio Ghibli. He is considered one of the greatest animation directors of all time as his 2001 film Spirited away was ranked as #10 of Empire Magazine's 100 best films of all time.
What is great about his work is, for one, the art. He has combined different elements and styles in his many movies. They often consisted combining 3d with 2d and made them work well together like how he did in Spirited Away. In his last movie, Ponyo, though the movie was very kid oriented the art style was different and compared most to watercolor than how his anime movies typically are. Second is the stories. The characters are very orginal, ranging from fuzzy monsters and oddly proportioned people.
