Program Note
Produced by the Seoul Visual Collective, this documentary is a penetrating look at Korean independent filmmaking today. We see the beliefs and self-reflections of the independents,as well as an account of dilemmas that filmmakers face,such as a filmmaking already compromised by conventions. Incorporating archival footage and interviews with the director′s own reflections, On-Line redefines an independent cinema which emerged 20 years ago as a negation of the status quo. The independents have depicted people′s lives whose conflicts draw the front line. The front can be a marginal place, but from the moment resistance takes place, it becomes the center. The filmmakers see a new center already in existence. On-Line is a critical look at a proud film community looking to build solidarity and new direction.
