The Meaning of 1/24 Second
Kim Ku-lim / Republic of Korea (South Korea) / 1969 / Czech Premiere / 11 min.
synopsis
The first experimental film in the history of Korean cinema refers to a frame rate of twenty-four frames per second. Through an energetic collage of edits, the city symphony radically delimits itself from the drastic urbanisation of Seoul. While towering skyscrapers symbolise progress in the city, a new government of technocrats grows in their midst.
"I do not feel bound by media, and my decisions about media are always spontaneous and accommodating." Kulim Kim
