Wes Craven’s Nightmare & Miyazaki’s Wind Rises

Studio 360

Hayao Miyazaki’s final film is about World War II and the designer of the legendary, destructive Zero airplane. Is the outspoken pacifist wavering in his position on the war? The young novelist Helen Oyeyemi blends folk tales and realistic fiction — her new book, Boy, Snow, Bird, places Snow White in 1950s small town America, and asks who the real villain is. Plus, master of horror Wes Craven picks the very best of our Scary Short Film Fest.
