Base Station by Park Sye-young and Yeon Ye-ji
In the near future, hypochondriac siblings Eden and Hyunho have taken to the mountains to avoid all electromagnetic frequencies, which they believe to be harmful to their health. But when the young woman runs afoul of two engineers and a hunter hired to install a next-gen telecom relay in the forest at night, the film transforms from a slightly paranoid drama to a nail-biting horror thriller. Yeon Ye-ji and Park Sye-young's feature-length adaptation of their eponymous short film is a hypnotic lesson in claustrophobic staging and the evocative power of light itself.
7 promenades avec Mark Brown by Pierre Creton and Vincent Barré
In this diptych documenting two projects at once, filmmakers Pierre Creton and Vincent Barré (L'Arc D'Iris, Souvenir D'Un Jardin; A Prince) reconnect with the world of plants and flowers by following the paleo-botanist Mark Brown in his ambition to recreate a primordial forest in Normandy. A film set diary of sorts is divided into seven walks where the filmmakers' rich world is candidly captured, visible in their camaraderie with and love for their subject. All of this amounts to an unexpected suspense, a longing for the work being filmed before our eyes: Mark Brown's primordial herbarium captured in sublime, sunny 16mm.
