Kim's Video
金氏音像店
For two decades, New York City cinephiles had access to a treasure trove of rare andesoteric films through Kim's Video. Originally run by the enigmatic Yongman Kim out of his dry-cleaning business, his franchise eventually amassed 55,000 rental titles. In 2008, facing a changing industry, Mr. Kim offered to give away his collection provided that it stay intact and be available to Kim's Video members. In a bid to revitalize tourism, the small Italian village of Salemi, Sicily became home to the archive. But after the initial publicity faded, so too did any sign of the collection. Enter filmmaker David Redmon, who credits Kim's Video for his film education.
With the ghosts of cinema past leading his way, Redmon embarks on a seemingly quixotic quest to track down what happened to the legendary collection and to free it from purgatory.
二十年来,纽约市的电影爱好者可以通过 Kim's Video(金氏音像店)接触到珍稀和稀有电影的宝库。最初,神秘的金永满(Yongman Kim)在自己的干洗店里经营,他的专营店最终积累了 55,000 部出租影片。2008 年,面对不断变化的行业,Kim 先生提出将他的收藏赠送出去,但条件是这些收藏必须保持原貌,并提供给 Kim's Video 的会员。为了振兴旅游业,西西里岛的意大利小村庄萨莱米(Salemi)成为了档案馆的所在地。但在最初的宣传之后,收藏的迹象也逐渐消失。电影制片人大卫-雷德蒙(David Redmon)进入了这里,他将自己的电影教育归功于 Kim's Video。
在过去电影幽灵的指引下,雷德蒙开始了一场看似荒诞的探寻之旅,追寻传奇藏品的下落,并将其从炼狱中解救出来。
