SUMMARY:Millennium Actress (film screening)
DESCRIPTION:Millennium Actress \n千年女優 \nDoors open 5:30PM | Film Screening | In-Person | JFT Event Hall \nDirected by KON Satoshi • 2001 • Animation\, Drama • 87 minutes • Presented in Japanese with English subtitles • Trailer \nA tribute to the golden age Japanese cinema\, Millennium Actress follows a pair of documentary filmmakers who set out to chronicle the life of a reclusive former movie star. As she shares her story\, her memories unfold as if she were still acting\, blending past and present\, history and imagination.  \nThis film is suitable for general audiences. Parental guidance is advised for younger viewers. \nMillennium Actress is part of our The Many Worlds of KON Satoshi series. \nFree admission. \nThis event is now fully booked and registration is closed. We will have a rush line before the event to release available seats on a first-come\, first-served basis. Admission is not guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding! \n  \nPromotional Support:  \n \n\nDirector Profile: \n KON Satoshi (今 敏\, 1963–2010) was a visionary Japanese filmmaker\, screenwriter\, and manga artist whose work revolutionized the possibilities of animated storytelling. Known for his intricate narratives\, psychological depth\, and seamless blending of dreams and reality\, Kon created some of the most critically acclaimed anime films of the early 21st century. \nAfter graduating from Musashino Art University with a degree in visual communication design\, Kon began his career as a manga artist and scriptwriter\, eventually working as an animator under director ŌTOMO Katsuhiro (Akira). He made his directorial debut in 1997 with the psychological thriller Perfect Blue\, which quickly earned him international acclaim. Over the next decade\, Kon directed a powerful body of work that includes Millennium Actress (2001)\, Tokyo Godfathers (2003)\, Paprika (2006)\, and the television series Paranoia Agent (2004). Each of these works showcases his signature style: non-linear storytelling\, striking visual imagery\, and a fascination with identity\, memory\, and media. \nKon passed away in 2010 at the age of 46\, leaving his final project\, Dreaming Machine\, unfinished. Despite his brief career\, his influence continues to resonate—his films are frequently cited by global filmmakers and have inspired directors such as Darren Aronofsky and Christopher Nolan.  \n\n \n\n
