World Premiere
In the 2000s, when lots of guerilla-like cultural movement groups appeared and disappeared repeatedly, ZOOMANET has been around for 20 years without any full-time workers or regular programs. To celebrate its 20th anniversary The initial plan, which was supposed to screen previous film works, developed into a project to make a feature film making full use of those previous works. Director Kim Hye-jung, a current member of the ZOOMANET planning team, traces the 20-year history of the ZOOMANET production workshop by selecting and arranging the ZOOMANET production workshop films based on the change in the distance between ZOOMANET and her over the past 20 years. Each of the films seems simple and there seems to be not much space for aesthetical choices, but the words they want to say and the emotions they want to convey are clearly felt, which ultimately forms a sort of collective aesthetic. You will experience seeing gestures and facial expressions, emotions and relationships that have been piled up in the time of workshop films — which sometimes do not seem to be happening anything at all — and the landscapes that have been looking at those times all along. This film is 20 years of history and aesthetics acquired through filmmaking experience, reflecting on their own lives, forming relationships between women, and exploring ways to survive together.
