Introduction
Since its very first edition in 1996, when it screened Otomo’s MEMORIES, Japanese animation has been an essential element of the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, the largest and longest-running festival of genre cinema in North America. Rupert Bottenberg, Fantasia’s Director of Animation Programming, speaks about the evolution of anime appreciation in the West, and the festival’s history of showcasing animation from Japan.
