A detective is led by an accidental postcard to investigate an incident at the USFK (United States Forces Korea) base Camp Long. Camp Long is in ruins and has had no visitors in twenty years. In the process of gathering, defragmenting, and arranging neglected information, the detective discovers that a strange geographic data value called Camp Long ATM occupies all space and time. However, there are no traces of any ATMs or banks at the scene, only bright red bloodstains disguised as evidence. The film is a mystery report of a detective trying to understand the legacy of time.
The Long Hole is one of five films presented by the 19th edition of the Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul – EXiS, as part of a special selection on e-flux Video & Film streaming for two weeks from August 18 to September 1, and accompanied by a conversation between EXiS 2022 programmer Inhan Cho and e-flux’s Lukas Brasiskis.
