A special screening of 'Stand Alone' at the Interfilm Berlin 41'


"Eight musicians and bands meet eight films at Sound & Vision – live at the Volksbühne. The performers have not yet heard the original soundtracks of the films, most of which were selected from the festival program, in order to preserve their own creative connection to the works during the composing process. Eight films, accompanied by eight acts of talented musicians come together in a dense and intense live show, featuring phenomenal sound and the epic screen of the Volksbühne.

Animated short film, 'Stand Alone'


Direction/Story/Design by Soyeon Kim

Animation by Mary Catherine Wilbur & Soyeon Kim

Music by Karen Tanaka

Edit by Todd Hemker & Soyeon Kim

Stand Alone is a quiet, personal reflection on what it means to keep moving—alone—through life’s uncertainties. Following the meandering path of a snake, the film becomes a mirror for our own inner journeys, where direction is unclear, and every step is shaped by instinct, struggle, and small, hard-won wisdoms. In a world that often overwhelms with noise and disconnection, Stand Alone finds strength in solitude and beauty in persistence. It’s a meditation on becoming—on learning to trust yourself and to claim your place in a world that’s always shifting beneath your feet.
