Makoto Shinkai is one of Japan’s leading animators and has been writing, animating, and directing films for over 20 years: his recent full-length animated film, Your Name (2016), Weathering with You (2019), and this year’s Suzume (2023) have been attracting huge audiences and gaining critical acclaim around the world. Combining imaginative storytelling with exquisitely textured animation, Shinkai explores themes like loneliness, distance, loss and longing, and our complex relationship with the natural world. His masterfully conceived real and science fiction worlds are filled with characters whose journeys and emotions resonate within us all.

Makoto Shinkai: A Journey from Voices of a Distant Star through Suzume will present artwork and materials from eight of Makoto Shinkai’s cinematic masterpieces, starting with Voices of a Distant Star (2002) through his latest critically acclaimed film Suzume (2023). Guests of the event will be treated to not only his creative process – from initial proposals and early sketches to design, including storyboard, animation renderings, and final film materials – but also will traverse his growth as an animation artist and storyteller, particularly following the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, which profoundly affected his approach to his work. An accompanying film retrospective in the Academy Museum’s Ted Mann Theater will allow Crunchyroll’s guests to delve deeper into the world he creates.
