Kim Gok started filmmaking in 2001 from his first film, paper-cut animation. Until now, he just finished his 13th film (including 4 feature films) among which "Anti-Dialectic"(2002) was invited to Venice Film Festival, "Capitalist Manifesto"(2003) to Busan Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival, "Geo-Lobotomy" to Vancouver Film Festival, "Exhausted" and "Suicidal Variations" to Rotterdam Film Festival. The whole works of his was focused on how to get away with overeating and stomach ache even when eating metaphysics with one mouth, eating politics with other mouth at the same time.
However, what interests him surreptitiously is a strange and raw image that could be hardly accepted by normal film festival, that is to say, material-thinking on the filmstrip itself, which we regard as "experimental" too easily, such as nitrate thinking on the surface tension between emulsion and base in "Digression/Degression". He's also inspired by some noise musicians, like Hong Chulki and Choi JoonYong, the members of the noise band, "Astronoise", who have been collaborating with Kim Gok for many films in his filmography.
