The Red Turtle - The Wondrous World of Studio Ghibli

A shipwrecked man’s struggle for survival takes a mystical turn when a red turtle transforms his life, leading him on a silent journey of love, nature, and acceptance.

A man is stranded on a deserted tropical island after a violent storm leaves him shipwrecked. As he struggles to survive, he attempts to escape by building a raft, but each effort is thwarted by a mysterious large red turtle. Frustrated and desperate, the man confronts the creature, only to witness a magical transformation that changes the course of his life.

The story unfolds without dialogue, relying on stunning animation and a minimalist narrative to explore themes of isolation, nature, and the cycle of life. Over time, the man forms an unexpected bond with the island and its inhabitants, leading to a profound journey of survival, love, and acceptance.

Leendert de Jong, Head Program, on the video message beforehand The Red Turtle from director Michael Dudok de Wit:

"Prior to the screening of The Red Turtle, you will have the unique opportunity to see a special video message from director Michael Dudok de Wit. In this message, he takes you behind the scenes of his first feature-length animated film and shares his special experiences with the legendary Studio Ghibli. Back in 2006, he was approached by Ghibli, fascinated by his Oscar-winning short film Father and Daughter. What followed was an intensive 2.5-year production period, during which the creative process was supervised by none other than Ghibli icon and Oscar nominee Isao Takahata (The Grave of the Fireflies, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya). An inspiring insight into a magical partnership!"
