If you are interested in Korean independent films, you must be well aware of the production company ATO. It has produced films with distinct and clear voices such as More Than Family, The House of Us, The World of Us, Last Child, Yongsoon, and Home. ATO is also known for discovering emerging directors such as Yoon Ga-eun and Shin Dong-seok. ATO Special introduces three short films by new directors co-produced with the food delivery app company BAEMIN. Kim Jung-in´s Night Cruising, Jung So-young´s Tasty Ending, and Hwang Seul-gi´s A Good Day all deal with food as the common subject and sharply capture the delicious and happy moments that the food creates. It is interesting to compare the films that have food in common but with different perspectives and attitudes toward it. To examine the cinematic world of these promising Korean directors more profoundly, the program also includes one previous film by each director. Hopefully, these food movies will offer the audience an opportunity to warm their hearts and experience the fresh air in the Korean film industry.
