SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
A neighborhoodto be perished due to the redevelopment plan, and blue-birdy kids. I want to meet them with my camera and enjoy ourselves to the full. It probably is the dream that carries us forward out of difficulties.

PROGRAM NOTE

 Dream of Snail is a documentary that wanders around Garibong Ogeori, a redevelopment area that would be gone forever anytime soon and captures young children living there, having a three-year-gap between shoots in 2000 and 2003. When she comes back to the village, the director realizes something is missing in them: Their naivety is gone. These kids know too well that they can be abandoned or exploited at any time. However, the director neither makes moral judgments on them nor tries to spread hope among them. Instead, her camera simply accompanies these children. The film chooses to show their longing for freedom to dream through the heartbreaking last conversation between the director and the children that goes like this: ¡°Do you want to be a movie director?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°What a big dreamer you are!¡± (CHO HyeYoung)
