Millennium Actress by Satoshi Kon will screen Thursday, August 27 at 7 p.m. with English subtitles. The film is a somewhat surreal journey through an aging actress’ memory of her life and work throughout the various eras of her career, set off when a TV journalist sets out to interview her about a classic movie studio being torn down and he and his unwitting cameraman get sucked into her reverie.
