An independent full-length film 'Shin Sung Il is Missing' by director Jane SHIN is invited to the 'International Forum of New Cinema' of the 55th Berlin Film Festival to be held on February, next year.
Worldwide recognition for independent film introduction
The International Forum of New Cinema is a section in which creative and experimental films are presented and receives worldwide recognition as a place of independent film introduction.
Director Shin told with a telephone interview with the Yonhap News Agency that he was informed of an invitation fact from the Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee recently.
The plot of this film is as follows: There is strange dogmatic world in which appetite is a taboo symbolizing corruption. Sung Il leaves the orphanage where he was forbidden to eat. He suffered from hunger there and he left it to enter a world full of things to eat.
This is a multilayered film which widens the horizon of filmic imagination. With its multiple meanings, the film raises issues about what might be more important than technically excellent films.
Jane SHIN was born in 1970. Jane Shin majored in philosophy at Seoul National University and entered the Korean Academy of Film Arts. Her short films include Sausage (2000), A Talented Boy Lee Jun Seop (2001), which won the grand prize at the 1st Mise-en-scene's Genre Film Festival(MGFF), and His Truth Is Marching On (2002), which won the best short film prize at the 1st MBC Film Festival and the best film prize at the 2nd MGFF. Shin Sung Il Is Missing is her first feature film.
