My Korean Cinema

Director in Person
Directed by Kim Hong-Jun.
South Korea, 2002, color, 60 min.
Korean with English subtitles.

In the vein of Martin Scorsese’s warmly received recollections of Hollywood and Italian cinema comes Kim Hong-Jun’s overview of forty years of Korean film history. Culled from his televison presentations, the film features the director’s reflections on the work of Im Kwon-Taek, Yu Hyon-Mok, Kim Ki-Young and Shin Sang-ok, as well as many others whose work has gone largely undocumented. A funny and moving ode to a life of cinephilia, the film draws on Kim’s experience as a filmmaker as well as film commissioner and festival director to inform this nostalgic journey.
