Night Fishing + Other Twisted Folk Tales

Atmospheric ghost story, shot by Park Chan-Wook (OldBoy) on an iPhone.

Korean directors Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy, Thirst) and his brother Park Chan-Kyong’s thirty minute film, Night Fishing is somewhat of an anomaly and something we may see a lot more of in the not too distant future; a bloody good film shot using a camera-phone. What they've produced is a gloriously sumptuous, atmospheric chiller.

Screening with Night Fishing are a couple of other weird and wonderful folk tales from the east. Man-Eater Mountain uses the traditional Japanese method of Kamishibai (storytelling with hand-drawn still images) to tell the gruesome tale of a police detective who investigates a series of murders in a small village. The show opens with a piece of classic puppet animation, featuring live haiku narration from writer/performer Lonesome Panther.
