Konkuk University (KU) announced on April 5, 2016, that Report about Death by Director Jin-A Kim, an alumni, was invited to the 2016 Annecy International Animated Film Festival for the graduation films category. The 6-minute, 2D cut-outs narrates the process of death from the moment one recognizes that he or she is dying to afterlife. “Fear against death prevents us from facing the end our life and many people spend their remaining time extending their time instead of spending it meaningfully,” Ms. Kim said. “I hope that Report about Death can help people think about what death is, what happens to us, and how we should live to prepare for that certainty.” <img style="margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11656891" /> Originally part of the Cannes Film Festival, the Annecy International Animated Film Festival was created as a separate film festival devoted to animation in 1960.
