Description:

If You Were Me 5 is a compelling anthology film funded by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea that takes a deep look into the violent nature hidden behind our eyes. Directed by five visionary filmmakers Kang Yi Kwan, Boo Ji Young, Yoon Sung Hyun, Kim Dae Seung, and Shin Dong Il, this thought provoking omnibus examines how ordinary societal events connect with human perception. The stories delve into the hidden sexual violence that exists just beyond our gaze, revealing how a controlled society exerts its power through visual observation. More than just exploring the violence of the eye itself, the film highlights how modern technology has limited individual perception while intervening in complex relationships between people and groups. By demonstrating how sharp and invasive our gaze has become in a technologically advanced world, If You Were Me 5 challenges viewers to reflect on surveillance, human rights, and the power dynamics of looking.
