Year Without A Summer

I met with with Nakii at the exit of Nohyeon.

It had been raining a lot in Seoul. We both holding an umbrella each.

We walked in the quiet neighbourhood of Nohyeon, and we came to the printing lab. There was a truck parked at the entrance, and Nakii and I had to squeeze ourselves to get through.

At the elevator we studied the sign. I tried to read, and Nakii corrected me: third floor, Si Sa Shi. I am learning to read the korean character. I learnt them from reading the sign in metro.

We get to third floor, and we were brought to the screening room, the si sa shi.

The light went off. I hear the sound of the projector. It is a strange feelling. To see one minute of my film.

The sea, the moon light, the rocks, and the jungle. Strangely i lost the familiarity of them.

For the first time, I forget that this is a film I made. The images on the screen seems to be always exist. It is a film made, not by myself.

Then the film finish. The light turned on. I asked to show the print again. because i forgot to do what i was suppose to be doing. to look at the color grading.

The color is good.

I asked if i could look at the print. Because this is the first time i have my film on a print.

I was just too happy.

To celebrate that, I had bibimbap for lunch. In fact, I have bibimbap everyday, don't you think life needs celebration, when one's film is SLOWLY finishing, and it is raining outside everyday?

We sat near a window. because it is always nice to look at rain, because we are comfortably sitting inside.

Azam comes back to his vilage to look for his childhood best friend, Ali.

Ali and his wife Minah invites Azam for fishing and a mid night picnic on a small island. The whole night, the three of them talk about love, marriage, village folklore, mystic creatures, and the wildboar hunting once upon a time.

As the night is ending, Minah demonstrates that she could hold her breath underwater for 3 minutes. Azam tries to do the same, but he never appears again...

In fact, Azam always want another life. When he was 14, he wanted to leave the village badly. He was only waiting for himself to grow up, and to have a bit more money.

This is a story about a man, who keeps running away.

Maybe I forgot to tell you, I am quite obsessed with unnecessary knowledges. When I was 12, I read an encyclopedia cover to cover.
