director: Myun Yi
original title: 1029 REQUIEM
country: Republic of Korea (South Korea)

running time: 4 min.
synopsis
The film's soundtrack is an ecstatic musical accompaniment to the Korean ritual “kut” performed by a shaman, which connects the living and the dead. The visual component, in turn, combines the experience of distance and proximity: rhythmically shrinking frames, filled with an ever-receding perspective, gradually reveal a central space in the midst of a dense agglomeration that seems to pulsate with music.“A requiem for those who died with their eyes open.”

His short films often deal with landscape, both natural and urban, as a seemingly fixed process and the relationship between impermanence and eternity.
