More Details

Summary:

With a mix of satire and documentary filmmaking, Kim Dong Won explores the extent to which mainstream media has infiltrated our lives. In South Korea, the average 70-year-old would have spent 7 years and 9 months of his or her life watching TV. With kids being raised on TV cartoon shows and entire families glued to TV screens, an unlikely proposition is made: switch off the television set for one full month, and your family will receive 300,000 Korean won. Festivals: Focus On - Korean Retrospective, 11th Jeonju International Film Festival.
