We have a long wait ahead of us before Hayao Miyazaki’s next film is released in theaters, but fans will still have plenty of chances to see Studio Ghibli on the big screen this year.

After screening Princess Mononoke in select theaters across the U.S. in early January, Fathom Events is teaming up with GKIDS for Studio Ghibli Fest, a movie festival that will bring six beloved Ghibli films back to theaters—both subbed and dubbed versions—over six months starting in June. The chosen films span Miyazaki’s career and Studio Ghibli’s existence (one of them predates Ghibli) and encompass a wide range of Miyazaki’s complex and enchanting heroines.

Here’s Studio Ghibli Fest’s film schedule.

June 25 and 26: My Neighbor Totoro

July 23 and 24: Kiki’s Delivery Service

Aug. 27 and 28: Castle in the Sky

Sept. 24 and 25: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Oct. 29 and 30: Spirited Away

Nov. 26 and 27: Howl’s Moving Castle

Tickets won’t go on sale until April 28, so you have plenty of time to plan which movies you want to see. Until then, you can sign up for email updates and early ticket access on Studio Ghibli’s website.
