This session will feature “Millennium Actress”, the acclaimed animated film directed by Satoshi Kon. The story follows a documentary crew interviewing a legendary retired Japanese actress. As she recounts her life, the film unfolds as a captivating journey through memory and cinema, where moments from her personal history blend seamlessly with scenes from the roles she once played—moving across different eras of Japan and elegantly blurring the line between reality and fiction. A heartfelt tribute to the power of film, remembrance, and the stories that shape who we are.
The screening will be in Japanese with Spanish subtitles (VOSE), thanks to the support and collaboration of the Japan Foundation (Madrid).
An invitation to enjoy cinema through a different lens—ideal for Japan enthusiasts and for anyone discovering it for the first time, in a friendly, engaging format designed for general audiences.
