Unbroken (2019)

UNBROKEN is a short documentary film exploring the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi through the eyes of British, Tokyo-based artist Clementine Nuttall. From its brutal beginnings in a moment of destruction, we start our journey of reconstruction through the careful application of natural glues, lacquer, and gold, leading us through the essence of some of Japan's most essential materials and beliefs used in traditional crafts. Although the history of kintsugi can be traced back 3000 years, the core philosophy of this art form and its embracement of failure and change as an opportunity for betterment and sign of resilience is still as relevant today as it was in the past.
