Bucheon Choice: Shorts 2

Hunger

Thomas CADOUX

France2017 5min Asian Premiere

Synopsis

Live humans used for food walk in through the back door of the restaurant. One of them gets caught trying to escape and cries for help. Isn't there enough unnecessary killing going on in this world already?

Program Note

Naked people get out of trucks and die as helpless as livestock. They are just a number of food ingredients. A young woman in her bare body escapes to the forest, but she can’t escape from her cruel fate easily. The ironic image of human being becoming a lump of meat is no different from genocide. The film is not just about showing off bad taste but satirizes about the blind slaughter of humans and the violence of madness. (JEON Jong-hyuk)
