Shiosayi is a community of film lovers who believe that cinema should never be lost to time. We noticed many important films — especially rare, independent, or international ones — are becoming harder to find. Even when they exist somewhere, they're buried in forgotten servers or inaccessible corners of the internet.
Some people try to get into private archives or clubs to find these films, but the gatekeeping is real — and hosting them on centralized servers doesn't solve the core issue. What we need is a shared effort to keep these films alive and circulating.
Shiosayi is our answer. A collective of volunteers preserving and sharing cinema through a public, distributed approach. Each supporter helps keep a film available and easily accessible — not hidden away.
For just $1/month, you can become a part of this preservation movement — a Cinema Custodian — and help save forgotten films. Members get access to our private Discord club, early lists of films being preserved, and can suggest what to rescue next.
🎬 Become a Cinema CustodianUnlike streaming giants that only push the mainstream, Shiosayi focuses on niche, neglected, and brilliant works that deserve to live on. As a member, you also get access to our upcoming cross-platform desktop app to easily browse and view the preserved library — always well-seeded and ready to play.
