KYOKAFILM

KYOKA FILM INC. was established in 2019 by the producer/director Kyoka Tsukamoto, who successfully completed her first feature-length essay My Dearest Sister. The film won the Standout Feature Film Cinematographer Award from Reelworld Film Festival, and earned the best female filmmaker award, “Die Tilda” nomination at the 34th Braunschweig International Film Festival, and selected at Raindance, RIDM, and RVQC.

Tsukamoto also composes music and plays the piano. With the support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, her recent compositions for the next fiction film entitled “I Heard a Funeral” (development supported by CCA and Telefilm Canada) have been made into some video works available on digital platforms. The unique strategy of Kyoka Film is to create films that use music as a vital force of storytelling; presently developing a documentary film / XR work “Sacred Songs from the Japanese Creation Myth” supported by Calq.
