Description
동양 문화에서 “밥 먹었어요?”는 단순히 끼니를 챙겼는지 묻는 것을 넘어 서로의 안부를 확인하고 상대방을 염려하는 마음이 담겨있다.
실험 다큐멘터리 <밥 먹었어요?>는 일본 오마치 지역 쌀 수확 시기 농부와 자연 사이의 민감한 관계를 탐색한다. 그리고 관람자를 포함하여 영상에 등장하는 모든 이들에게 “밥 먹었어요?”라는 질문을 던진다.
In Asian culture, the question 'did you eat rice?' means 'have you eaten?' (usually referring to a specific meal: breakfast, lunch or dinner). Moreover, this question could also function as a greeting and an expression of concern for someone; for example, a substitute for 'how have you been?', 'are you okay?', or 'is everything all right?'
The experimental documentary film Did You Eat Rice? explores the sensitive relationships which exist between local farmers and their natural environments during the rice harvest in Omachi, Japan. In this production, various subjects, as well as the audience, are asked the question 'did you eat rice?'.
