The situation surrounding film is only getting worse, as we hear news of the discontinuation of photographic film production on an irregular basis. It may be a culture that will eventually disappear...if nothing is done.
The movement that film camera enthusiasts from all walks of life are supporting and sending out as a slogan to convey the splendor of film culture is calledFILM is ARTThe "counter" culture is now the hottest art form in Japan and around the world. The "counter" culture, which is now the hottest trend in Japan and around the world, is expressed in various art forms by enthusiasts not only in Japan but also around the world, and is involved in a series of projects.
With the launch of the project in April 2018, the first product will be the "EXTENDED PHOTOGRAPHIC", a team of photographers who are the originators of a camera strap brand using climbing ropes and who also work on numerous advertising visuals, but also use film cameras. MATERIAL" will release a set pack of three limited edition T-shirts and a tote bag specially designed for "FILM is ART" as the "FILM is ART Limited Pack. The "FILM is ART Limited Pack" includes three limited edition T-shirts and a tote bag designed especially for the "FILM is ART" exhibition.

In addition, several collaborative items will be available at the venue on the day of the event.
The language of this movement,The digital world can create a world of creation . The world can be fooled, but the one who cannot be fooled is oneself. The aesthetics of coincidence, which cannot be satisfied by digital technology. The weight of a single photograph. A comfortable sense of tension. The softness given by nature. The product of chance. Film is a momentary miracle created by a chemical reaction. Film is art.. expresses the charm of film photography in all its glory. In this age when the grassroots is reevaluating the time, effort, and process as the antithesis of rationalism, this is precisely what the goodness of film is all about.
I will conclude with these words by Henri Cartier-Bresson: .
. it brings you a physical and intellectual pleasure. It is a very clear moment that brings you physical and intellectual pleasure.
