Note: SIFF claims this is a "World Premiere", which must mean that they're referring to the premiere of the English dub produced by Buena Vista (Disney). Evidence against any other definition of "world premiere" includes:

World premiere?

No: this film was originally released in Japan in 1989.

English language premiere?

No: a previous English-language version was produced by Carl Macek (of Harmony Gold and Streamline fame) at Tokuma's request for Japan Air Lines' international flights.

US premiere?

No: the Macek dub was premiered in 1993 at the University of Washington, in Seattle, Washington, arranged by the Anime Discovery Project, the campus anime club.

On behalf of Team Ghiblink and The Miyazaki Mailing List, let me express our heartfelt sadness at this tragedy, and our sympathy for Hartman's two children and other surviving members of the family.

We can't even be sure that this article was written by someone who has actually seen the film, so we can only speculate on their credibility. One wonders how they can justify their statements about a film they've never seen before, if that's the case.
