Kyo-En 京炎 is a collaboration between Scottish and Japanese Flames based in Kyoto. Tricky Hat and Kyoto-based company NPO Gekiken have led online workshops and filmed in both countries to explore the lives, hopes and dreams of participants.

This film has been showcased to a live audience @Kyoto Arts Centre on Saturday 4th December 2021.
