Director's Comment

[Testimony] reflects my personal experiences and reflections on the conditions and qualifications of love. Every child's life is a journey to understand their parents. The film aims to capture the irony and sadness of fully understanding one's parents only when they no longer seem larger than life. I hope the audience can empathize with the profound hope that emerges through this sadness.

Program Note

The boy Emile is discovered alone in an abandoned castle and suffers a deep trauma caused by the world. He relies on Charlie the vampire and tries to recover from his pain and suffering. This film steps outside the familiar story of the imaginary friend and trauma. It draws in the audience by sparking curiosity about vampires, using concise character development and an unexpected ending to show the growth of Emile in a neat and simple way. Jinny Hyejin CHOO
