Kim Kyung-man

USA is something like a religious belief in Korean history since the liberation. A powerful essay film is born with archival footages and a compilation of images of the Korean modern society. The right film for a generation who's losing the knowledge of Korean modern history.

There are five grandmothers, four of whom went to Jeonju Prison due to the Jeju 4.3. All of them were young people around the age of 20 at the time of the incident in 1948. The outline of the incident is formed when hearing the experiences of those who were sent to prison without trial particularly as women. The audience feels indescribable emotions by the fact that they have lived on despite what they had gone through, things that are just too much for a human being to bear.

A sarcastic and hilarious short archival documentary on the Korean military style, this film uses recorded footage of the Vietnam War and military educational films from the 1970s when Korea participated in the war with the U.S. As it wittily demonstrates the close connection between macho aesthetics and militarism/patriotism, it also criticizes the massacres carried out by the Korean army in Vietnam, and humorously questions a Korean society that, at the time of production, was approving the dispatch of troops to Iraq.

Dae-Han News was the name of a propaganda film series made by the Korean government press from 1952 to 1994. During this time, Dae-Han News produced one film clip per week. Long Live His Majesty is a sampling of the Dae-Han News series. Long Live his Majesty is about the dictator RHEE Syngman who was the first president of South Korea. He appears in this documentary as a man whose every day is a birthday.

Experimental filmmaker and multi-media artist Kim Kyung-man explores his country’s institutionalized culture of fear and hatred toward North Koreans.
