Bong Fire Mountain

DoAn — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 06:44:00 +0000

Made in Seoul in 2006. Music by Jet Echo (myspace.com/jetecho). Words by Jack Quin. Video by DoAn Forest.
The audio has the sample, “The train for Bong-hwa-san is now arriving.” The word “bong” can’t really be translated into English (but of course, think BONG), and “hwa” means fire, and “san” means mountain. This video is kind of a short story, but not too easy to follow.

Pacific Resistance (intro)

DoAn — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 06:51:45 +0000

This is the original introductory sequence for my Pacific Resistance project (a collection of about 40 short films). I want to revisit this project and re-edit it sometime soon, since I really didn’t know how to use the editing tools at the time I made this.

Vancouver Slow Chase

DoAn — Wed, 21 Apr 1999 19:23:07 +0000

This was filmed in 1999 and edited in the early 2000s. I’d written a film script for a movie to take place in Vancouver. A lot of the abandoned material of the script made it into this. The film is basically location shooting from bus windows, train windows, apartment balconies, etc … with a commentary that drifts between jilted lover and detached urban critic.
I’d still like to do a shorter version (this one is 16 minutes), but not sure when/if I’ll ever get around to it.
