A short film about the world underneath us. A dark reality where people live off trash thrown away in the world above them. The film showcases an extremist world of social class and wealth disparity. While those living in the world above go about their everyday lives, disposing of waste without much consideration, a different society exists beneath them, living off this very waste. A cruel factor that simultaneously exists is that even in this shadowed realm, there still seems to exist a social class system and wealth disparity of their own.
Burn is a psychological drama/horror about a grieving mother who goes into ritual and denial after the loss of her son, convincing herself that if she keeps offering pieces of his past, food, toys, and memories, she can somehow bring him back. Alone in the dim confines of her home, particularly the basement that becomes a space of confrontation, she faces a shadowy “creature” that seems to embody her guilt, regret, and unresolved trauma. As her attempts at connection are repeatedly rejected, the line between reality and delusion collapses, revealing that the monster is not something she can destroy but something born from her own failure to see and protect her child. Ultimately, Burn explores how grief can consume a person from within, turning love into something haunting, inescapable, and destructive.
A personal story of a ceramic artist who rediscovered their passion for pottery after 20 years away from the craft. Rooted in their Korean heritage, she focused on creating jar-shaped pottery (항아리) that reflected traditional Korean culture and food storage practices. Her work emphasises the importance of natural, imperfect forms of hand-thrown ceramics and incorporates folk art (민화). The story illustrates a deep personal and cultural meaning to her in these simple, human-made creations.
