Kim's Story
2025
The transformation of Kim, an ordinary person with the most common surname in Korea, into a dish sponge—a process in which he becomes "dish scrubber-ized." It is a poetic reflection on identity, conformity, and the loss of self in the face of societal expectations. As Kim transforms from a human being into a "tool of cleanliness," the film raises the question: How much of ourselves remains when we adapt to the demands of an ever-changing world?sick home

While the eyes seek protection and comfort, agents of homogenization are silencing those who speak out. In this climate of radical silence and ignorance, the narrator describes the various muscles that people use to turn away from what they encounter. Meanwhile, the images intertwine. They resemble bodies whose muscles are capable of stretching beyond the edges of the image, resisting and challenging the authority of the seemingly factual and neutral narrative.Dream in Dream

Combining interviews and live cinema, Rising Through the Fray plunges us into the heart of Indigenous Rising Roller Derby, the first international team to bring together Indigenous players from several countries.
