Blindness
2021 Adults 5 min
by Yu-seon Park

At the same time, however, her disturbing film, which takes place in a divided picture, bears elements of horror and dark existential drama. The theme is alienation and loneliness in the age of digital media and the confrontation of a person with a cold image on a monitor.
