Keeping the Vision Alive
N/A

Keeping the Vision Alive is a documentary film containing the voices and images of Korean women filmmakers-both senior filmmakers and also the peers of director Yim. The film is Yim’s homage to both contemporary Korean women filmmakers, written by a filmmaker of the same age, and also to the history of women filmmakers in Korea. Yim does not reveal her own voice or opinion and lets the voices and images of the filmmakers speak for themselves through a non-interventionist camera. From the pioneers, Park Nam-ok, and Hwang Hye-mi, who directed First Experience in 70’s, to recent filmmakers, Byun Young-joo and Jang Hee-sun, the film traces their experiences, troubles, concerns and thoughts as women and women filmmakers. Keeping the Vision Alive calmly and enthusiastically encourages and celebrates the struggles, the resistance and the survival of women filmmakers in a conservative Korean film industry and a male-dominated and sexist social system.

Ecology in Concrete
N/A

I wanted to document various stories around apartment buildings from the first-generation urbanologist of Seoul and also from the apartment generation who was born and raised in apartments. They have cozy memories, upcoming anxieties and inconvenient experiences in their apartments, and in addition, they have witnessed the street trees growing up all the while. I was sad to hear that the residents do not garden trees because they want to start to rebuild as soon as possible.Therefore, the life circulation of an apartment building in Korea is only 30 to 40 years.
