Program Note
Still and All is a story about the souls living beneath the Yeongdo Bridge in Busan. Yeongdo and its bridge offer a historical space with lingering traces from the Japanese colonial era to the Korean War. The people under Yeongdo Bridge, reconstructed in 2013 after 47 years, are driven to move when the vicinity around it is designated a Special Tourist Zone. The film superimposes their stories against the spatial history. Though adopting a direct cinema format, the characters talk to the camera, making us feel that the film is listening to them with sincerity. It is not refined, mainstream language, but the characters’ easy and natural words deliver the “true” sound of the space. This integrity has the power to compel the people’s everyday lives to simmer in the viewer’s mind for quite a long time. (LEE Seung-min)
