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?
