The Act of Killing

Cinema has traditionally been dominated by films about good versus evil, the good fighting against the bad. However, the good and the bad only exist in stories. In reality, every evil act in history has been committed by human beings like ourselves.


Ieoh Island

This film is a bizarre piece by director Kim Ki-young who freely interpreted the novelist Yi Cheong-jun’s original story. Adopting the frame of a mystery drama and crossing over different time periods, Kim combines shamanism, the salvation of human beings, and even ecology in the film.


Rainy Season

The film deals with shamanism and the barbarous time of Korean history?struggles and suppression of armed guerrillas, massacres of civilians due to mutual revenges, and the division of the Korean peninsula along with extreme ideological conflicts?and pursues true reconciliation between people.


Medium Earth

The accumulation of moving images and sounds that makes up Medium Earth comprise an audiovisual essay on the millennial time of geology and the infrastructural unconscious of Southern California.


The Last Witness

The film was completed right after the Gwangju Uprising in 1980 but this film, which captured the ordeals in the modern history of Korea, became a mess due to censorship. The controversial film was not released to the public until it was restored in 2006.
