Smithsonian celebrates Satoshi Kon’s legacy with U.S. release of documentary

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art will stream French filmmaker Pascal-Alex Vincent’s 2021 documentary film Satoshi Kon: The Illusionist in the U.S. next week. The documentary, which premiered at last year’s Fantasia International Film Festival, explores the life of legendary anime filmmaker Satoshi Kon.

Kon’s career began as a manga writer and illustrator before becoming an animator in 1991. He would go on to write and animate for classic feature films, including Roujin Z and Patlabor 2, and even directed a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure OVA.
