Introduction

South Korea / 2023 / 92 min
Director：KIM Taeyang

As the young artist and film lecturer take a stroll and drive through the ever-changing city of Seoul, the film captures the evolving destiny and milestones in their lives. Two old friends walk shoulder to shoulder through crosswalks and alleys, exchanging conversations about their views on romantic relationships, career goals, or local monuments. Their return to the same places, stories, and points of conversation is then observed over several years of filming. The title "Mimang" is a Korean word that has several definitions, and it is one of the concepts that are thought to be difficult to describe in words. The film deals with just such emotions that are difficult to verbalize - emotions that are felt every day but usually forgotten, but cleverly collected throughout the story. The cityscapes are beautifully spotted with the telephoto lens, and the sound design including the environmental sounds of the city is also superb. This is a debut feature film of emerging director KIM Taeyang, premiered in the Discovery section at the Toronto International Film Festival.
