KINOEIGA MANIFESTO
Our mission is to basically combat the constant barrage of shallow, manipulative AI dreck and the human-made slop that surrounds it, props it up as legitimate.
We believe in telling stories about causes we see fit, or at the very least, fitting.
We are living and working through history: a repetitious, increasingly escalatory series of fuck-ups and attempts to maintain power for its own sake.
We work to pierce the veil of monotony using the myriad tools left to us by great artists. We believe in art.
We are called, without choice, to respond. Each of us burdened by our own lives; as a collective, we fear nothing.
Art is the undying mover. Art is not God, but what helps us touch it.
KinoEiga (/ˈkiːnoʊ ˈiːɡə/) is an international collective of artists. We produce Narrative and Commercial work, and we distribute Films.
In everything we make we commit to good faith and good form.
We are KinoEiga.
