AKT 2 - Robert Fritz (Newfane, Vermont)
In this lovely short film shot in Sweden two people meet by accident after years apart and reveal secrets they hid from each other in the past. The meeting leads to moments of truth in each of their lives, and illusions are shattered, the past is explained, and their lives are changed. Starring Kirsti Torhaug and Michel Riddez in a tour-de-force duet performance. In Swedish, subtitled. 2013; 35 min.
The Other Side of the Mountain - In Hak Jang (Pyongyang, North Korea) The first U.S./North Korea coproduction ever, this film is a dazzling, epic melodrama depicting the relationship between a South Korean man and a North Korean woman separated by political conflict. During the Korean War, a young nurse in a small town in North Korea saves a wounded Southern soldier abandoned by his platoon. Forced to hide his identity, the two gradually form a furtive attachment until he is forced to return to his home in South Korea. Featuring opulent set design and punctuated with glorious musical numbers, this is a startlingly original feature debut from director In Hak Jang and writer/producer Joon Bai. In Korean, subtitled. 2012; 102 min.
