Korea’s #MeToo movement was first introduced in art and cultural institutions and industries in 2016 and soon expanded to more mainstream outlets of society. The growth of the movement generated platforms for feminism to release itself from misjudgment and stereotypes and move away from its distorted public perceptions within Korea.

 

This screening series, which consists of contemporary films directed by Korean women, opens with two works by Yim Soon-rye, a prominent director and an advocate for women in film. The films explore the complexities of diverse conditions, including the trauma of domestic violence, investigations into gender and class politics, humanity’s relation to nature and the environment, and love and friendship. Each film in the series conveys its narrative through the unique lens of its director’s keen perception, remarkable sensibility, and earnest engagement with its subject(s), for a 10-film tour through this new wave of Korean women directors.
