5 min, English, Digital, USA, Category: I

In her performance series Full Body Quotation, Wu Tsang acts as a speech synthesiser, restaging the second half of Amanda Baggs’s 2007 YouTube manifesto In My Language. In this multi-layered work, the audience is left to wonder if Tsang is expressing the context of the original film or using its language to express herself.
Director: Wu Tsang

118 min, Korean with English subtitles, Digital, South Korea, Category: III

A young man named Jun escapes from North Korea and seeks a new life in the unfamiliar city of Seoul. Another young man, Hyeon, the kept lover of a married man, lives alone in a luxury apartment. These two people seeking to survive are like a pair of twins. The comfort of meeting each other, however, is not enough to dispel their feelings of powerlessness.
Director: Kim Kyung-mook
