Kintsugi Gold

О фильме

‘Kintsugi Gold’ is a short film inspired by the concept ‘mad pride’, she seeks to celebrate the lives of people with severe and enduring mental health disabilities. Since it’s premiere it has been shown at by the British Museum for the ‘Hidden/Revealed’ event in 2021 and for the ‘We Shall Not Be Removed’ project run by Graeae Theatre Company. The conceptual inspiration is taken from Kintsugi, the Japanese art form of repairing cracked and broken crockery with gold. Instead of disguising the cracks, they are celebrated and made more visible. This often makes the pieces more beautiful than the original, and the broken places are the most valuable.
