The 26th Nakanoshima Film Theater, in collaboration with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA), will be screening short films by five Korean women artists. These five films, capturing diverse regions and eras, are connected by the common themes of boundaries and mobility.
Opening the door is the new work "Grafted Words, Excluded Names" (2023) by An Yuri (born 1983). Ahn borrows the format of questions asked in naturalization exams to raise questions about discrimination, aversion, and the possibility of coexistence in Korean society. Kim Sejin (born 1971) brings out the dynamics of immigration and the underlying capitalism through episodes revolving around chairs, islands, and tortillas in her film "Approaching Desire" (2016). The use of open-source images and sounds, and their relationship with the global issue of immigration, is impressive. On the other hand, Kim Soyeon (born 1961), known as a film director, presents "Heart of Snow: After" (2016), an expanded exhibition format of the documentary film trilogy "Exile Trilogy," which traces the history of mass migration from the Korean Peninsula to Primorsky Krai, Siberia, and various Central Asian countries.
In the second part, "The Story of One or More Mountains" (2017), Jane Jin Kaisen (born 1980) depicts overlapping myths, languages, and humans and nature, centered around mountains on the faraway Eurasian continent and the border of the Korean Peninsula. Starting from contemporary Korea, the screening traces the path of a song that has flowed through the memories of different people between the peninsula and archipelago in "Imjin River" (2017) by Nam Hwayeon (born 1979). The path of the song is also the journey of the author guided by it.
"Sky, Without Boundaries" was conceived from a dialogue ongoing for about half a year between Japan and Korea. After watching the five films, we hope to continue the dialogue with the audience alongside our guest, Lee Soo-jung, a curator in the Film & Video department at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA).
Venue: Auditorium, B1 floor.
