KKUM (Korean: 꿈; RR: Kkum; lit. Dream) is a South Korean intimate black and white animated short film made in a minimal set design with Styrofoam in stop-motion[1]. Seoul-born, Los Angeles-based independent director Kim Kang-min confessed using this material because it’s inexpensive and fitted his $80 budget.[2] This Oscar-qualified short is the first Korean film to take the grand prize at OIAF[3] and the 3rd film in Ottawa history to win both the top short and public prize.[4][1]
Plot
With prayers in the daytime and dreams at night, a mother protects her son. The mother’s dreams become premonitions to the point of devotion.
Voice cast
- Kim Kang-min as himself.
