In “Millennium Actress,” filmmaker Genya Tachibana and his crew interview reclusive star Chiyoko Fujiwara. As she recounts her faraway career, the crew are pulled into her memories, witnessing her encounter with a mysterious man on the run from the police. Despite never knowing his name or his face, Chiyoko relentlessly pursues that man in a blend of reality and memory. After the film, stick around for a conversation with “Millennium Actress” producers Taro Maki and Masao Maruyama as they reflect on making the film and Kon’s legacy.
