Program Note

An omnibus made by five directors representing five countries. Outstanding directors, Walter Salles, Alexey Fedorchenko, Madhur Bhandarkar, Jia Zhangke and Jahmil X.T. Qubeka have made short films with the common theme of “time”. The movie depicts the pain of loss people suffer when the value of individuals is ignored. The Brazilian episode shows a family standing against the trauma of an accident, where a dam holding back the sediment from an iron mine was destroyed, hitting the village. The Russian episode is a comedy depicting a couple who support themselves with musical instruments in an isolated forest. The Indian episode is a pleasant but sad story where a wealthy old man meets a street boy, cultivating a friendship. The South African episode is a sci-fi movie depicting the desperate struggle of humanity 1,000 years in the future, while the Chinese episode deals with a family agonizing over having a second child under new family policy. Each episode raises the alarm about forgetting love as time flies by. (Minah JEONG)
