Continuing the Small & Short Film Festival, the Museum of Miniature Found Objects was delighted to show Kangmin Kim's 38-39°C, which takes place in a Korean public bathhouse. Kangmin Kim had moved from South Korea to California to study animation. He went regularly to Koreatown's public bathhouses in Los Angeles and on a visit to a very small, old one, the steam-filled atmosphere flooded his mind with memories of his South Korean childhood. And from this experience 38-39°C emerged:
"My goal has always been to make experimental, narrative films. I didn't want to make a 'clear' film, instead I wanted the audience to feel the emotions from images, not plot. Characters are not important to me, the bathhouse is more important." (Hyphen Magazine)
