ABOUT

Through the art activities of people with intellectual disabilities at the Suzukake Workshop in Kobe, Kobo-e in Hiratsuka, and the Shigaraki Youth Dormitory in Shigaraki, Sato Makoto, director of "Living in Aga," gets to the bottom of artistic expression.

【The seven artists who appear in the film are also people with mental disabilities.】
Looking at the creative activities of these seven artists and the fragments of their lives that support them, we begin to get a glimpse of what art looks like. As we travel through the world of these seven artists, the film slowly sets us free. While traveling through the world of the seven artists, the film slowly becomes free...

【The film is a journey through the world of seven artists.】
The film is directed by Sato Makoto, an internationally acclaimed documentary filmmaker whose works include Living in Aga. Painter Seizo Tajima serves as cinematographer, and the film approaches the whole picture of "art" that transcends "art for the disabled.
