Carlotta Films announced on Saturday that its upcoming French documentary film Satoshi Kon, l’illusionniste (previously titled Satoshi Kon: La Machine À Rêves) will have its world premiere at the Festival de Cannes 2021, which will take place from July 6-17. The film will screen in the “Cannes Classics 2021: the documentaries” section of the festival.
The company previously streamed a teaser for the film that listed a 2020 release date, but the film’s release window was not yet confirmed at the time due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation. Carlotta Films later posted an extended trailer in March, which has since been removed, which stated the film was “coming soon.”
The documentary will feature interviews with: Mamoru Oshii, Mamoru Hosoda, Masao Maruyama, Taro Maki, Masashi Ando, Aya Suzuki, Masaaki Usada, Sadayuki Murai, Hiroyuki Okiura, Masafumi Mima,
