Bun Bites Screening: The Dream Songs (2022) + Q&A

The screening will be followed by an online Q&A with the director Cho Hyun-chul, moderated by Dr. Hyunseon Lee (Professorial Research Associate at SOAS), interpreted by Emily Jisoo Bowles (British-Korean film critic and film programmer at Queer East Festival).

On the day before the school trip, Sam dreams an ominous dream of her best friend Ha-eun dying. Filled with fear, Sam runs to Ha-eun, who's in the hospital because of the recent bicycle accident, and asks her to come for the school trip with her. Two girls decide to sell Ha-eun's camcorder to make money for the trip. On their way to sell the camcorder, Sam realizes her deepest concern that Ha-eun might not feel the same as how she feels about Ha-eun. She shows jealousy towards people around Ha-eun and it eventually tires her. After a big fight, Ha-eun disappears and Sam wanders around looking for her
