SUMMARY:"Firing the Climbing Kiln"
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE: Sunday June 14\, 8:00 PM Singapore time for our June programme entitled “Firing the Climbing Kiln”\, our second presentation with the Mingei Film Archive. \n\n\nHighlight of the programme will be a very rare documentary showing the firing of a climbing kiln in Japan\, filmed by the Canadian ceramic historian and director Marty Gross and narrated by Marty and potter Ohta Tetsuzo whose family has been producing ceramics and firing their kiln in Koishiwara\, Fukuoka\, Japan for generations. The film is in Japanese with English subtitles. After the film\, Marty will talk about how this film came to be made and his work in restoring and recording traditional ceramic practices. This is a newly restored and important film and we are delighted to be among the first audiences to see it. Members are invited to invite friends and family to join. The programme will be held on ZOOM and details will be shared by mail to SEACS members a few days before June 14. \n\nAdditional information: \n\nAs part of the Mingei Film Archive\, “Firing the Climbing Kiln” was recently edited from the outtakes of Marty Gross’s renowned film “Potters at Work”. Using recently restored\, previously unseen footage filmed in 1976 in the village of Koishiwara\, Fukuoka\, Japan this documentary follows the family of Ohta Kumao through the stages of loading and firing. The commentary was filmed in Koishiwara in July 2025 and has been edited to the film which was completed in March 2026.\n\nFor further information on the Mingei Film Archive please see:\nhttp://mingeifilmarchive.com
