Our goal

Takashi Ito

In the heart of our film school lies a dream that resonates with my own journey through the labyrinth of filmmaking. As a filmmaker, I understand the intricate dance between frustration and revelation, the years spent in decoding the language of cinema, and the longing for an environment that fosters artistic freedom. The goal of our school, seen through my lens, is a tribute to the artist within each student. It's a sanctuary where the unconventional is celebrated, and the pursuit of high art takes precedence over conformity. I envision a haven where students are not just nurtured as filmmakers but as artists unafraid to explore the uncharted territories of their creativity. Reflecting on my own path, I recognize the potential for acceleration that a school like this could have provided. Waiting years to grasp the essence of my artistic voice was a journey fraught with uncertainty. The goal, as I see it, is to compress this timeline for emerging filmmakers, offering an environment that supports their unique paths to discovery. Our school is more than an institution; it's a guiding force for students to navigate their artistic journeys. It mirrors the lessons I wished I had learned sooner—the power of individual expression, the liberation found in breaking away from conventions, and the boundless possibilities of cinematic storytelling. In essence, the goal of our school is my personal dream realized—a dream born from the conviction that if I had the privilege of such an institution in my formative years, my own cinematic journey would have unfolded with more clarity and speed. It's a dream to cultivate a generation of filmmakers who, inspired by their individual perspectives, will redefine the very essence of storytelling in the world of cinema.
