An Ant

CHI Ye-won

Korea2017 5min World Premiere

Synopsis

Almighty God, living in an isolated star. The One got comfort from the presence of a tiny little being: an ant. Through two beings, we get to know that neither size nor value could not even be considered as  subject of discussion compared to joy from being together and inevitable & repetitive farewells.

Program Note

Through ‘god’ and ‘ant’, this fairy tale is an emotional portrayal of encounter and separation, existence and extinction, solitude and loss. With restrained colors and a simple drawing style, the director showcases impressive directing skills through bold angles and mixing diverse shot types. (CHANG Hyun-sang)
