"Open the Door" (2022)

Directed by Jang Hang-jun

With Lee Soon-won, Seo Young-joo, Kim Soo-jin-IV, Kang Ae-shim,...

Synopsis
"Open the Door" starts with two drunken men at night. In New Jersey, the US, Chi-hoon (Seo Young-joo) drinks with his brother-in-law Moon-seok (Lee Soon-won). While recollecting their memories from the past, they dredge up memories of the misfortune they have tried to bury, and Moon-seok reveals something secret as he becomes increasingly overwhelmed. Written and directed by helmer Jang Hang-jun, this film takes the form of a mystery where hidden stories are unfolded little by little tracing back to the past. What matters more than the truth in the past is how it is revealed. The film consists of four chapters that gradually amplify as the characters collapse with anxieties and doubts. It is amazing to see how the film develops tension using limited spaces, characters, and long-paced camera walks. SONG� Kyung-won

"The Dream Songs" (2022)

Directed by Cho Hyun-chul

With Park Hye-soo, Kim Si-eun-I,...

Synopsis
"I have something I really want to say to you today".

On the afternoon of the day before her school trip, Se-mi wakes up from her strange dream and heads to her Ha-eun. It was because she felt like she had to convey the feelings she had been holding back for a long time today. However, unlike her overflowing heart, the two keep falling apart.

Can Se-mi confess her true feelings to Ha-eun, leaving behind the awkward misunderstanding and hurt?

"A Table for Two" (2023)

Directed by Kim Bo-ram

Synopsis
The second feature by Kim Bo-ram, following her 2017 film, "For Vagina's Sake", "A Table for Two" delves into the roots of the relationship between a daughter suffering from an eating disorder and a helpless mother. In 2007, fifteen-year-old Chaeyoung is diagnosed with anorexia and committed to a mental hospital. Feeling guilty, her mother, Sangok, tries to trace the source of her daughter's illness but there is no way to know. Ten years later, the mother and daughter begin a conversation. Relying on Chaeyoung's diary, drawings, and voice-over, the film explores the history of conflict and pain in mother-daughter relationships through three generations: grandmother, mother, and daughter. The film is surprising for two reasons: it shows us the secret and complex inner side of humans that cannot be captured on camera, and the perfectly transparent camera has successfully succeeded in infiltrating the intimate time of a mother and daughter. It is an extraordinary and outstanding feminist film. KANG Sowon
