SYNOPSIS:
The Rome Independent Film Festival – XI edition is delighted to host in
its opening night, Thursday April 12th, the performance of the talented
artist Rafaël, a member of the international jury of the RIFF. Rafaël,
one of the most promising contemporary artists, whose creations have
already been hosted in some of the most important museums, festivals
and cultural institutions in the world, as Tate Britain and the Rotterdam
Film Festival, will realize as a premier for the RIFF audience: “KYOUL”.
Spanish by birth, Belgian by adoption, his latest creation is a tribute to
Seoul. “KYOUL” means “winter” in Korean language, and it is a travel
day-by-day through the winter in Seoul. It is a work, between fiction
and documentary, which explores and reinterprets the concept of the
modern metropolis. The city with its forests of buildings, cars, old and
young, homeless people in delirium, shooting fashion, talks, millions of
lights, advertising, displays hallucinatory, loneliness and joy. Rafaël will
create a live – cinema performance, a confluence of video, conceptual
art and experimental music, all composed and live performed. Scenarios
that are intertwined, evocations and calls for a performance which
tells of Seoul and to be held in Rome, designed by an international artist
for a RIFF edition that this year is exceptionally opened to the rest of
the world.
