Bucheon Choice: Shorts 1

Bucheon Choice: Shorts invites 12 short films full of the charm of short films, which puts a powerful story in compressed time and space. In addition to Hair Wolf, the winner of the Sundance Film Festival Short Film Jury Award, Helsinki Mansplaining Massacre, which sharply twists the customs of the horror genre and social conventions, and RIP, a bloody black comedy about a wife and a mother who try to kill the husband who has returned alive because of the way others look at them, are the films that tell the recent interests in an impressive way, such as race, gender and human relations, in a strong combination of comedy and gore. While Deer boy, The Girl in the Snow and Hunger are impressive for their brutal yet beautiful scenes and fantastic styles, Pan, a comedy about the secret of an underground factory of an ordinary bakery, and No Line, whose variation of sophisticated styles rises above, are special in that they present energy of new Japanese directors. Moreover, a Korean short movie Soh is noteworthy for its style as unique as its title. These 12 films of different countries present styles and themes as various as the number of nations and offer the pleasure specific to the genre or new interpretation beyond genre stereotypes. They are a must for the audience who loves genre films.
