Korean American Shon Kim presents this half-animation, half-formal experiment "Latent Sorrow", which has a title that perfectly represents the mood of the piece (or the piece represents the mood of the title, whichever way you would have it). From brush-strokes to forms, to the animation of a frame or the messing with the actual film itself, Kim explores the transgressive and morphic forms between strokes and shapes.
It is beautiful black and white cinema. The harshness of the lines match the softness of the curves, resulting in some maddening designs, but overall it's a contemplative and immersive film. Definitely something to sit back and watch versus something to interpret. Hopefully it'll continue to be seen in festivals so others can enjoy it as well.
