WASTELAND I REPUBLIC OF KOREA I 00:38:00 I Director: Misong Jin I Spiritual & Philosophical PG13

In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, two lovers who are expecting a baby search for a rescue helicopter.

We tried to convey elements of mystery and the spiritual without the use of music, dialogue, speedy editing, and camera movement. It was crucial that we depict the beauty of hope through serene images.

A rumour of an internet purchase like no other leads filmmaker Manus Fraser on a journey to discover who on earth would ship a three thousand pipe organ half way around the world. He finds 84-year old Gilbert, a man with boundless wit, energy and determination. A former Headmaster, who escaped apartheid South Africa, he has spent two decades on his madcap mission. Captivated by Gilbert’s charm and absolute refusal to give in, Manus joins him on his ultimate analogue odyssey.
