Korean Shorts Head to Park City in 2017

The Slamdance Film Festival will invite a pair of Korean shorts to its 23rd edition, which will take place in Park City, USA concurrently with the Sundance Film Festival from January 20th to 26th. One-Minded will screen in the Narrative Shorts Program while My Father’s Room will be featured in the Animated Shorts Program.

Co-directed by expats Forest Ian Etsler and Sébastien Simon, One-Minded takes place in an apartment occupied by two young women during a night when one of them brings home a man and a pair of thieves break in. The film was featured at the Seoul Independent Film Festival (SIFF) in 2015 and has screened at several other global events. The directing pair previously made the documentary short The Urban Suite in 2014 and more recently collaborated on The Troubled Troubadour, which also screened at SIFF.

From director JANG Na-ri, My Father’s Room deals with the subject of child abuse and a daughter’s reckoning about her father’s actions during her childhood. The film debuted at the Seoul Independent Film Festival this year and follows director JANG’s prior work HOME SWEET HOME (2012), which competed at the Animafest-World Festival of Animated Film-Zagreb after premiering at the Bucheon International Animation Festival in 2013.
