Original Title : 从头开始
This film was originally commissioned by the La Rochelle film festival, to relate to the Cathedral of this historical port city of western France. But José Luis Guerin considered this commission only as a starting point, and he chose to focus on an ex-voto painting located in a chapel of the Cathedral, that witnesses the tragedy of the“ Saphir” in 1741. This slave schooner was becalmed for days and days in inter-tropical waters, with 271 slaves and 30 crewmembers on board. This little painting is like a secret door in a Cathedral that opens on to the great History...

Original Title : 礼物
Films that have disappeared long ago, becoming legends and rumors, fractured images that float around like phantoms, are beginning to come back. These once vanished phantoms of Korean cinema, some appearing quite damaged, are now returning with names like discovery, collection, and restoration. <Phantoms of the Archive> is an omnibus project comprised of four short films produced by director Kim Jong Kwan to honor the Korean Film Archive's 40th anniversary. It is simultaneously a record of a film institution that has worked tirelessly to remember and restore forgotten periods of Korean cinema as well as fleeting thoughts conveyed through images portraying the many discoveries in Korean film history. They are like an individual's dreamlike fantasy trip through the unknown world of lost Korean cinema. The four shorts, <A Hat's Journey>, <The Watch>, <Remnants of the Deceased>, and <Classic Cinema>, each represent discovery, restoration, preservation, and screening respectively, and are collectively the phantoms that wander around the film archive. Let us go on an somewhat bizarre journey with them.
