SYNOPSIS
Minorities in minorities are not commonly represented; their thoughts and feelings gather and scatter on the screen, questioning about queer. The unique images and voices of dozens of different people are split and combined like knitting. The conflicting and expanding stories overlap with accidental body expressions such as sneezing, and unpredictable movements of objects and light. Accordingly, the question becomes more complicated—queering the question. Can queers’ lives, which are always flowing and being created, be connected to other lives through the film? So, what is queer?
DIRECTING INTENTION
I want to see and hear the film which queer is not used as a tool for anything else. To this end, I tried to audiovisualize indecisiveness and fluidity by using daily life images rather than giving information. I just wonder if queer can be experienced as the atmosphere of this film. I hope that “Unknown” will also be delivered as part of the queer. I wish audience’s different experiences would create more complex questions while watching this film. I hid my desire to be connected while pushing it away in the film that starts with a question and ends with a question.
