Claire's Camera
Directed by Hong Sang-soo
Produced by Jeonwonsa Film, Les Films du Camélia
A contemplative, gently magical story about two women's unexpected connection at Cannes, where photography becomes a tool for seeing and transforming reality.
On a business trip to the Cannes Film Festival, Manhee is accused of being dishonest, and fired. A teacher named Claire goes around taking photos with a Polaroid camera. She gets to know Manhee and sympathizes with her. Claire is like a person who can see Manhee's possible future or past selves, through the mysterious power of the beach tunnel. Through taking photos, Claire has acquired the ability to look slowly at things, and to transform objects. Now, Claire goes with Manhee to the café where she was fired. We look forward to seeing Claire's power at work.
