Ghibli Director's Vision of Switzerland Finds an Eternal Home in the Alps
A retrospective exhibition on Isao Takahata, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, is drawing crowds in the Swiss Alps, where his 1974 series 'Heidi, Girl of the Alps' has become an unexpected cultural touchstone. The show highlights how the director's imagined Switzerland—crafted without ever visiting—has resonated deeply with Swiss audiences for nearly half a century.
