Film Talk - Satoshi Kon: Tokyo Godfathers

November 26, 2024

Film Talks | Satoshi Kon: Anime Auteur Series

“Tokyo Godfathers is the kind of old-fashioned, all-ages entertainment Hollywood used to churn out in live-action form before the era of niche marketing, when a good story sold a film.” – Marrit Ingman, Austin Chronicle

In our final week, we explore Kon’s third feature film, Tokyo Godfathers, which follows the exploits of a trio of unlikely friends facing homelessness (a teenage runaway, a former drag queen, and an alcoholic) as they spend Christmas Eve looking for the parents of an infant they discover in the trash.

This Film Talk is associated with a screening of Tokyo Godfathers on November 25, 2024.

Streaming Tickets grant access to the film talk virtually, live-streamed via Zoom from 7-9:00pm PT. Access to the recording is not provided after the live session.
