Program Note
Only the few members of Yellow Door have seen fellow member Bong Joon-ho’s directorial debut film Looking for Paradise, which was never released. This stop-motion animation about a gorilla leaving a dark and dirty basement to escape the attacks of dung bugs and heading to paradise was screened at an end-of-the-year party for Yellow Door members. When the wooden box containing the 8mm film hidden deep in Bong’s study for thirty years is opened, cinephiles’ memories of the early 1990s will come flooding back as well. In the era of film enthusiasts, when everyone was mad about studying film, Yellow Door was their own cinematheque and film school, and above all, an ideal youth community. Yellow Door: ‘90s Lo-fi Film Club provides a detailed account that vividly captures the special era that heralded the renaissance of Korean film culture. The clips of masterpieces in film history embedded among anecdotes are an exciting added bonus. (KANG Sowon)
