Today's short is the trailer for the Oscar-nominated, feature-lenth animation The Wind Rises. Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the film, the last by Miyazaki, is about Jiro Horikoshi (1903-1982), who designed the fighter planes Japan used during World War II. The film's title comes from a poem by Valery, "The wind is rising! We must try to live").
