Gdje su djevojke?
Ne mogavši pronaći djevojke u raznovrsnom umjetničkom opusu korejskog umjetnika Lee Jung-seoba, Chaerin Im ispreda maštovitu priču o ženama rođenim s tijelom polukonja-polutigra. Ove žene lutalice suviše su snažne i slobodne da bi ispunjavale nametnute uloge kćeri, supruga i majki u patrijarhalnom društvu.
Priča je nadahnuta Tae-mongom, korejskim snovima o rođenju koje je sanjala autoričina majka tijekom trudnoće s njom i sestrom joj blizankom.
Chaerin Im (rođena 1994. u Seulu) južnokorejska je redateljica čiji je fokus eksperimentalna animacija. Koristeći posebne materijale i zanatsko umijeće autorica istražuje rodnu problematiku i prikaze seksualnosti. Diplomirala je na studiju Dizajna vizualnih komunikacija Nacionalnog sveučilišta u Seoulu (2017.) te magistrirala na programu CalArts Experimental Animation u SAD-u (2020.). Njezini su se filmovi natjecali u programima renomiranih svjetskih festivala kao što su Annecy, Ann Arbor, Animafest Zagreb, DOK Leipzig, Ottawa, Slamdance i GLAS. Dobitnica je GLAS-ove stipendije za 2021. godinu.
Film je bio dostupan 21. svibnja 2023.
Where are the girls?
Unable to find girls in the diverse artwork of the Korean artist Lee Jung-seob, Chaerin Im unravels an imaginative tale of women born with half of their bodies being a horse and a tiger. These roaming women are too fierce and free to match their given role as a daughter, wife, and mother in the patriarchal society.
The tale is inspired by the Korean birth dreams, Tae-mong, of her mom when she was pregnant with her twin sister and herself.
