◆Roadwork= The story vividly depicts the tense process of a man who loses his home and family due to a highway construction plan, becoming enraged and ultimately destroyed. It delivers a powerful message portraying the distorted self-image of modern people thoroughly destroyed by capitalist logic. The film deeply explores the protagonist's psychology, evoking psychological horror. Directed by Pablo Trapero, known for "The Clan" (2015), it is set to be adapted into a movie.

◆Diary Era= The author stores countless books in his mind and takes them out as needed to add to daily life. On bland days, he writes with imagination; on wounded days, he applies laughter to his diary entries. From these writings, poetry emerges and novels are derived. The history of love and sorrow that once filled his past self is fully recorded, resulting in vivid writings of the present. (Written by Moon Bo-young / Minumsa)
