So Yong Kim : 2014
"Mom's stable, asleep. Drive safe! Xoxo Dad." Soon after Elizabeth receives this text message, her mother isn't the only one lost in sleep. Elizabeth's car has broken down. It's freezing cold, no sign of life nearby. She just has to wait, patiently. The recovery guys will be here soon, Elizabeth. Till then, she warms her young hands on the vents, drifts into a strange slumber, followed by an even more surreal awakening. Icelandic landscapes merge with Elizabeth's memories. Fears are magically transformed into comforting and fantastical fabrics. Father, upstairs, alone. Stranded on her way to visit her dying mother in the hospital, Elizabeth's moments alone are turned into a hypnotic emotional journey. The seventh commission from designer Miu Miu as part of "Women's Tales", a series of short films by women who critically celebrate femininity in the 21st century. So Yong Kim's film screened at Venice Days 2014.
