1029 REQUIEM
Myun Yi / Republic of Korea (South Korea) / 2023 / World Premiere / 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.”
