They're charming, they're serious, and most of all they're exuberantly energetic-- Korea is currently home to one of the hottest film industries on the planet, and as this selection of recent queer shorts demonstrates, the energy is anything but limited to spy blockbusters and romantic comedies. Kissing couples never know the effect they'll have on "innocent" passers-by in Funny Guy. Next up, Coming Out, the story of a girl who decides to declare for her love for a classmate, isn't just about junior high school students-- it's by them! Another woman's feelings blossom onscreen in the beautiful, eccentric Lachrymal, and the relationship between a man,his boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend according to Sandwitch is simply surreal. After his boyfriend is pressured to get married, a man introduces him to his sister and must deal with the ramifications of his decision in Sugar Hill , and two classmates cross a line and can't go back in Pink. What better way to get the scoop on the talents of tomorrow?
