The SMART library named after Anna Akhmatova invites you to the lecture "Ecological Issues in the Works of Hayao Miyazaki." Hayao Miyazaki is a director for whom nature and technology have always existed in a complex but inseparable unity. His films are filled with images of forests, rivers, and mythical beings that stand against thoughtless industrialization and human greed. The lecture will explore how in "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," "Castle in the Sky," "Princess Mononoke," and other works, the director depicts ecological disasters, the consequences of technological progress, and the search for balance between humanity and nature. Guests will not only be able to recall their favorite animated films but also view them as serious artistic statements about the future of the planet. The lecture will combine film analysis, discussion of cultural context, and lively communication with like-minded individuals. The meeting will be useful for fans of Japanese animation interested in ecology, as well as anyone who wants to understand more deeply why Miyazaki's work has become a universal language for discussing the fate of the Earth. Admission is free, but prior registration is required.
