World Premiere
Director Juyeon is editing a film she made with her former lover, who also starred in it. She believes that completing the film successfully will naturally restore their relationship. But when a technical error lowers the resolution of an important scene, that hope begins to fall apart. Amid the blurred images, Juyeon struggles to find both the film's direction in the edit.
Editing a failed film comes with reflection. I blame the actor's performance, resent the crew's mistakes, and in the end come to realize that the cause lies with me. And yet I cling to a vain hope that someone might recognize its worth after all. Accepting a parting is no different. I only wish my sincere heart could be understood, but, with a misguided intention and direction, it cannot be conveyed clearly.
Born in Jeju in 1993, Song Yechan has continued to direct short films and write television miniseries. In 2021, Maria & Beyonce (2021) won the Asian Shorts Audience Award at the Seoul International Women¡¯s Film Festival.
