NEGATIVE SPACE
Korea, Republic of, 2023, 14 min
Jiwon, a 29-year-old job seeker, has spent over three years looking for a job since graduating from college while dealing with two kinds of negative space; a gap in her resume and a personal gap in her life. On the day of a job interview she is getting more and more anxious.
Lim Eun Ji (Chief of Staff, 2019), who plays Jiwon, the leading role, manages to play the exceptionally difficult part with surprising depth and great emotion. Ahn Min Young, who has previously won the best actress awards at the 36th LA Asian Pacific Film Festival for “Mother In Law” in 2020 and the Eurasia International Film Festival for “Fantastic Vacance” in 2017, takes part in the film as Jiwon’s mother.
