Here’s a wonderful one and half hour conversation between legendary animation director Hayao Miyazaki and Roland Kelts at a UC Berkley event. Like many of you, I’m a huge fan of the films that Miyazaki has made over the years, and it's really interesting to listen to him talk about his career and the work that he’s done. If you have the time, you should definitely check out this video.
