Sado, the island of exile - New Territories

New Territories is a experimental journal that follows artist Charles Munka as he wanders through Japan, after spending ten years in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
In December 2017, Charles Munka left his Tokyo studio to embark on a series of artistic residencies on six islands across Japan where he seeks to discover and express the identity of these locations.
A work is created on each island inspired by its materials, places and faces.
2017年12月、東京と拠点としていたシャルル・ムンカは、アーティスト・イン・レジデンスの取り組みをはじめ、日本の島々を巡り、計6島の独特なアイデンティティを追求することを志す。
それぞれの島にて、その環境、文化、そして素材からインスパイアされた作品を仕上げていく。

[@Gonta67]

SADO is beautiful place in Japan. I like SADO and this Video

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

It truly is. Thanks for your comment.

[@dumaramutsi]

3:27 This looks like a Kurosawa's type of framing. And that's a pretty BIG compliment. Good job.

[@IzzyLeong]

Much appreciated the art direction of the film

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Italian and Russian subtitles have been made available via Community Contributions, which are also open for additional language submissions. Thank you for following Archipel!

[@MayaScript]

Bewitching. Especially the still, quiet parts with natural sound. 🖤

[@waynelee891]

Wow.

[@Artiststan]

Mesmerizing! Really transports you there.

[@telefrag.]

This is some "Baraka" level cinematography, you guys outdid yourselves once again.

[@HRIZNDOC]

As a documentary production student this is beautiful. And I really love the font choice and the overall feel of this

[@anantasound]

[@itotallyagreewithyou3451]

[@Wladislav]

Having seen Kodō live a few times and those being the greatest live performances I've ever seen it's a pleasant surprise to see this pop up on KZbin!

[@gimeli2]

Can't wait to watch more of these! Great work!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you, we just uploaded another video!

[@10hawell]

This material is the transfer of ambient, nostalgic, vaporwave from music to image. I also associate it deeply with the music of Sigur Ros and Ólafur Arnalds, beautiful, I am looking forward to the continuation.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thanks for the kind word!

[@tyler2time]

Absolutely stunning, well done!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

[@pttrn]

This is so awesome.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Loved the video,I was on the coast of Maze Beach today looking across to Sado. Your video gave me a good deal of inspiration to paint also. Thx 🎨😊

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

@@ArchipelDocumentaries My pleasure

[@lucaskane420]

A Blissful account of the remnants of the island's past..... Kudos to the photography and the silence in the video really was a peaceful watch... P.S :- Why did you guys change the name of the channel to Archipel? Toco Toco was a beautiful name... Miss that logo on your channel...

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

We changed the name to Archipel as we wanted to expand our content beyond toco toco. The toco toco name remains with the series so you’ll still get to see it and its logo!

[@rojiraan8042]

I'm completely stunned by this video. Of course the shots & colors are gorgeous, but the editing, the typo, the sound design... Everything is matching together perfectly. It feels like a short fiction film. Well done to the team, really. Do you think you will keep getting this editing/framing in the next New Territories episodes ? Or this directing was specially made for this special aparté ? Thanks.

[@dobermanarro3732]

HELLO

[@fridabu.b6761]

Reminds me of forbidden siren

[@HabarudoD]

I was like "When did I sub to a channel called "Archipel"?!" but I see now. Really, really nice shots

[@TheXavierfull]

This means no more interviews?, don't get me wrong this was awesome.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thank you and stay assured that more interview content is on the way. Our ongoing toco toco series will continue every first day of the month, New Territories, in addition to further upcoming content will come in to further expand Archipel’s universe.

[@TheXavierfull]

Archipel Thank You!

[@Masamoone]

Whats his equipment?

[@Fotis_152]

This is stunning! Can anybody tell on which camera this was shot?

[@peazdeath19]

Who puts dislike? Are you insane?

[@Reggie21]

I was confused since you change the name channel

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Archipel is our new name under which we will rally toco toco, in addition to New Territories and other Japan-centric content. toco toco’s next episode will be released April 1st!

[@DeadPig325]

ThIs IS tHE dARk sOUls OF JapAn ChannEls.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

We take this as a compliment :)

[@DeadPig325]

Glad I summed it up as such.

[@sonicretard4537]

Beautiful

[@しのさん-b5v]

Thanks for the very good video. I am from Sado. I am glad that you made a wonderful video of the scenery of my hometown. The winter is cold, but the fresh green in the summer, the red leaves in the fall, and the sunset are wonderful. Thanks again for the wonderful video.

[@Noideagsd0]

Exceptional! I didn't know I was looking for this.

[@lowlize]

Simply wonderful! This is already one of the best videos on this platform.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thanks for the kind word!

[@orenji]

The quality of your videos are so amazing and the content is so full of insight. It makes me sad that don’t have more views or subscribers. I hope you continue making these and that one day they get the attention they deserve. There is so much value in them. Thank you for the amazing work!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Thanks for the kind word, it means a lot to us!

[@ivb1973]

Impressive, but a tad too fast maybe. I had no time to soak everything in. It's a shame because you made gorgeous shots.

[@frenchgundam9079]

Underrated video and channel for mangaka apprentice and artist.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]
