Episode 1.Desultory Empire
It is still possible to begin something new since so many things have gone wrong from long time ago, though they are not reversible. For example, it can be a tale about Albert, a model citizen, who keeps on marking his OMR card. For example, it can be a desultory tale where a huge empire exists today.

Samsung enterprise, multinational medicine company, multinational food to eat, USAs arms industry, NEIS, and some powers that dares to privatize the entire world··they shall be stabbed by their sword that they used to get power. This is what I wish in this film, which is filled with desultory references to let the empire collapse 10 seconds quickly and let the earth collapse 10 seconds slowly.

The omnibus project The Empire, one feature film, consists of 7 episodes which are created each by 7 independent film makers, who differ from one another in how they speak, but share one issue-what is the empire? In the film, The Empire, they speak of globalization in Neo-Liberalism, photography for wedding, circulation of power, family, school, war, migrant workers, Missile Defense System, and even nuclear to depict how violence and oppression are produced by the power that still works simultaneously in both daily life and the whole world. The Empire is everywhere. It is not far away from here but even in my body. And it is delicately entangled in our life and sometimes completely invisible. In short, it is desultory, but unique.
