❖WHO ARE WE? (日本語この後)
Kintsugi Pictures is a Japan based film company producing both fiction and non-fiction films for Japan and the greater global audience.
❖ WHAT IS 'KINTSUGI'? The Japanese word “Kintsugi” 金継ぎ literally translated ‘golden joinery’, is a traditional Japanese form of pottery repair. A method employed by skilled craftsmen to mend broken p
ottery using lacquer mixed with gold.
❖ WHAT STORIES DO WE TELL? Kintsugi Pictures tells the stories of people often discarded by society.
❖ WHAT DO WE BELIEVE? We believe in the value of restoring broken things in an age where so much is discarded in favor of newer, better models. We believe no story is more beautiful than a broken life restored. The stories of people who change the world, not in spite of their brokenness, but because of it. We believe brokenness repaired and proudly visible - and held together by gold - becomes the strength and catalyst for our heroes to help restore others and in so doing, all of society as well. We believe the past is not something to disguise or hide. Rather, as part of our heroes' history, it is redeemed becoming the power drawn from to find the strength to fulfill their destiny.
会社名”Kintsugi”の由来
「金継ぎ」とは、欠けたりヒビが入ったりした陶磁器を漆などで接着し、継ぎ目を金や銀で飾る日本独特の修理方法。壊れたものを捨てたり隠したりするのではなく、あえて傷を生かすという美意識にもとづいたものです。
私たちはこの金継ぎの手法に、映像制作における指針を見出しました。ともすると人は、仕事仲間や家族、恋人、友人… あらゆる相手に対し、自分の“傷”を隠してしまいがち。
そんな中で、過去の過ちや失敗や悲しみを受けとめ、それを糧に、世の中をよりよいものへ変えようとする人たちのストーリーを描いています。
今後も社会に化学反応を起こす人に光を当てていきます。
Kintsugiピクチャーズは、人の傷こそ無限の力になると信じる映像制作会社です。
