Something to Remember

Form Animation – Narrative Premiere Status Yorkshire Original Title Något att Minnas Country Sweden Year 2019 Running Time 5min Language Swedish Director Niki Lindroth von Bahr Screenwriter Niki Lindroth von Bahr Producer Kalle Wettre Korean poet Baek Seok once used a spider as a metaphor for family. Hae-Ji Jeong draws on the poem’s meanings and explores the feelings of a college student who is dealing with her friend’s abortion. She delicately exposes how issues of shame and vulnerability affect women in Korean society. Set in a series of mundane, utilitarian environments – an empty zoo display, a furniture store, a control room at CERN – a choir of animals sing together. Pleading for fulfilment, theirs is a quietly melancholic lamentation for the modern age, entreating us to add our voices to their tales of woe.
