Program Note
The film reconstructs the Korean Women’s Labor Movement from 1960 to present day by combining interviews, locations and art. Focusing on Shin Sun-ae, a garment laborer in the Pyounghwa Market, and Kim Jin-sook, who works at Hanjin Heavy Industries, personal histories are recorded in between the pages made from images: The “friends who disappeared without a word” from Pyonghwa Market, the words of a photo studio owner who remembers the events surrounding the Dong-Il Corporation, the experience of how a peaceful lawn turned into hellfire. In his previous film Jeju Prayer(2012), director Im Heung-soon attempted to combine history and fine arts. In Factory Complex, he experiments again in writing history. The statements given by laborers in cold, sequestered concrete buildings convey their story in a multisensory manner, no longer sacrificed behind myth of economic growth and the drive for exports.
