Soon-Mi Yoo In Person

Korean filmmaker Soon-Mi Yoo kicks off our new series exploring
personal and experimental filmmaking emerging from or engaging with
the Pacific Rim. Combining aesthetic grace with emotional intensity,
the personal with the political, her experimental videos explore
Korea's lesser known peripheral histories. Thus ssitkim: talking to
the dead is a moving essay on grieving and the little known role of
320,000 Korean soldiers who fought in Vietnam for the United States
and carried out mass civilian killings. ISAHN uses the stereoscopes
placed on North Korean border-where exiled North Koreans can look
back at state approved photographs of "home"-to dwell on the
difficulties of displacement and the pain of being separated across
borders. Also screening: faith, the new supplements, and a work-in-
progress.
