The Grand Prix goes to the short fiction PLEASE for the convincing cinematic development of its atmosphere which is mainly achieved through its careful camerawork closely observing its main characters and a very minimal use of dialogue. The film focuses on a subject many filmmakers could have chosen. However, the way LEE Sangah tells the story, the way she infuses the story with has to be credited to her abilities as a director, supported by the excellent performance of the main actress KIM Hyosoo.
