Program Note

An impactful short horror film that needs no dialogue. Classical music gently plays over black-and-white visuals as elegantly dressed guests fill the tables for dinner. But soon, that refined atmosphere turns bizarre. A mysterious woman catches a man's eye, and he, like the others, picks up the meat on his plate and “devours” it ravenously. The film unfolds to a shocking conclusion driven by the images and illusions he encounters. (Kani KIM)
