The Last Film of Mankind

Program Note

Even if the world goes to pieces, the film must still be completed. A movie major student making a graduate piece in the countryside, works through the various hardships of filming in the field. What’s worse, he hears the news of a comet coming towards the Earth. A youth movie with simple comedy; the visual of an enormous comet in the field and the struggle to complete the movie make a fun but pathetic contrast. A sci-fi comedy set in a rice paddy. (KIM Jung-young)
