Arcadia

A touching relationship

ARCADIA(Ipsuk Bugeun) is originally conceived from a representative figure in Korean literature writer Hwang Sok-yong’s debut novel Ipsuk Bugeun(1962). It was filmed in the winter of 2015 at Towangseong Waterfall, a sacred place in the history of Korean mountaineering located in Mt. Sorak. Ipsuk Bugeun represents the stark beauty of nature, created by the transiently shaped ice walls against the elaborately forged rocks formed through time, and human’s genuine and sublime pursuit to witness the artistry and splendor of nature. The lines excerpted from the novel which depicts a boy’s existential grow through encountering moments of justice, friendship, death and rests in a composed matter are translated synesthetically into Jang’s video. Collaboration with art director Lee Kyungsoo(workroom) the original typeface from the 1962’s Ipsuk Bugeun was adapted to the film and music direction by Jung Jaeil enhances the narrative experience of the viewer appealing to auditory sense.

On a country estate in Derbyshire, Arcadia moves fluidly between events in 1809 and the modern inhabitants who are eager to discover what really happened in the past. We begin in 1809 where we will meet Thomasina, a teenager and mathematical prodigy, who works with her tutor Septimus. Yet we learn there are many secrets within the family on the estate. Affairs of the heart, unrequited love, and debates about chaos theory and the ideal gardening landscape flow throughout these scenes in the past. When the story moves to 1992, a garden historian and a literature professor visit to unearth the past. Was Lord Byron actually a guest? Was there a duel? Why is there a hermitage on the estate? What do the the current inhabitants of Sibley Park know about the past? Scenes move fluidly between two centuries, with an increasing reminder to cherish our time together. Arcadia is a play about passion, longing, astrophysics, and both the strength and fragility of the human heart

"ARCADIA" was born from the encounter between the director and Stefano Filipponi, songwriter, performer and designer. The film is a portrait of Stefano's human evolution, an artist with an incandescent spirit who performs in a macrocosm where desire and fantasy, light and darkness, theatrically and sensibly intertwine with each other. It celebrates being sensitive to one's own queerness which finds the strongest means to assert itself in bravery, kindness and identity.
