Horikoshi-san not only helped start the mini-theater movement by founding Eurospace in 1982, he was a leader in film education by helping found the Film School of Tokyo (Eiga Bigakko) in 1997, and then helping found in 2005 the masters program in film at the Tokyo University of the Arts, where he became a professor. He was also a producer of films by directors such as Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Abbas Kiarostami, Leos Carax, et al. He was a central figure in the Japanese film world of the last 40 years.
