🎬
Buda’s only art-house cinema, Tabán ArtMozi (1016 Budapest, Krisztina Blvd. 87–89), is rolling out a January tribute to Hayao Miyazaki, the two-time Oscar-winning master of Japanese animation, who turns 85. Every Monday in January at 6:30 p.m., the theater screens one of four classics from Studio Ghibli, inviting longtime fans and newcomers eager to discover Miyazaki’s world.
Weekly Screenings in January
The “Miyazaki 85” series runs on January 5, 12, 19, and 26, each session set for 6:30 p.m. in Budapest. The cinema is presenting four beloved titles from Miyazaki’s filmography, spotlighting the director’s hand-drawn craft, humanistic storytelling, and environmental themes that defined Studio Ghibli’s global rise.
Special Cinema Menu Deal
Tabán participates in the Mozimenu, available only at Corvin, Müvész, Puskin, Kino Café, and Tabán. Buying the Mozimenu gets you a movie ticket plus a discount redeemable at the cinema’s snack bar. The concession discount is valid only on the day and at the location of the screening, making it a handy bundle for anyone planning a full cinema night.
Why It Matters
The month-long salute wraps community and cinephile energy around a landmark birthday, turning Mondays into a small pilgrimage for Studio Ghibli admirers across Budapest.

Pros
+
Family-friendly picks from Studio Ghibli mean gentle themes, stunning visuals, and options that work for kids and adults alike
+
Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are internationally famous, so the films are easy to appreciate without niche background knowledge
+
Budapest is a well-known European city for U.S. travelers, and Buda’s Tabán ArtMozi gives you a cool, local, art-house vibe
+
No Hungarian needed to enjoy—screenings typically have original audio with subtitles; double-check showtimes for language/sub options
+
Easy to reach: central Buda location near trams and buses; rideshare and taxis are cheap by U.S. standards; parking possible but tighter
+
The Mozimenu bundle (ticket + snack discount) is a solid value compared with U.S. cinema pricing
+
Compared with similar retrospectives elsewhere, this offers an intimate, cinephile setting rather than a crowded mega-chain vibe
- Showings are only Mondays at 6:30 p.m., so timing is rigid and easy to miss if you’re short on days
Cons
–
If subtitles are only in Hungarian at a given screening, non-Hungarian readers could struggle—confirm language before booking
–
Tabán is a single-screen art house, so fewer seat choices and potential sellouts compared to larger venues
–
Compared with big Ghibli festivals in the U.S. or Japan, there may be fewer titles, no merch, and limited special events
