Program Note
Women filmmakers in Korea have had to endure prejudice, discrimination, and contempt simply because they are female. Under the good name of ′women′ they were robbed of their creativity. For them, filmmaking was a forbidden desire. This film tells us how women filmmakers survived in a conservative Korean film industry, and what their future tasks are. The interviews with Kim Young-Hee, who began working as an editor in the 40s, and director Park Nam-Ok, a director from the 50s, tell us about the struggles these women had to endure in the male-dominated film industry. By examining the activities of female directors and producers who have been the center of attention in recent years and by observing the students at Youngpa girl′s junior high school with interests in film, this documentary depicts female filmmakers in Korea - their hardships, hopes, and visions of women′s cinema.
