Description
Photographer and video artist Park Chan-kyong's first feature-length film blends documentary and fictional elements to create a portrait of Anyang, South Korea. It is a journey through the layers of history that have shaped the city and its environment, from a tragic fire that killed 22 female workers during the 1988 Olympics to the painstaking excavation of a thousand-year-old temple, and from the search for a legendary 500-year-old “grandmother tree” to an investigation into the ways Buddhism is interwoven into the region's history. Presented in conjunction with the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital. (Dir.: Park Chan-kyong, 2011, 102 min., Korean with English subtitles, video)
