K-Family Affairs + Q&A

Family life and politics have always been intertwined for South Korean filmmaker Arum Nam: her parents’ marriage coincided with the first democratic election of a president who was unconnected with the former military regime; Nam herself was born on the first day of the trials against leaders of that regime; and presidential elections are always held on her birthday. The aftereffects of a national disaster and the rise of the MeToo movement present her with a stark choice: will she follow in the footsteps of her activist mother or her patriot father? Nam’s debut film, which won the Jury Award at the Taiwan International Documentary Festival, connects her personal history and the history of her country. She blends videos and news footage to capture her own relationship with South Korea’s turbulent recent past and to critically examine the choices her parents made. She reflects with an open mind on her own political coming-of-age. Nam’s straightforward and playful style captures the spirit of a new generation in the South Korean movement for democracy. DirectorArum Nam, a documentary director from Seoul, South Korea, holds a Master's degree in Documentary Filmmaking from the Korea National University of Arts. She directed a short documentary "Pink Femi," which tells the story of a feminist mother, and co-directed “Teleporting” with Japanese directors during the pandemic. “K-family affairs” is her first feature documentary. The director will join for an online Q&A after the screening

Lost Course + Q&A

Wukan is a fishing village in Guangdong province in South China that became international news in 2011, when local people rose up en masse against local administrators who were involved in the illegal sale of land in communal ownership. For this, her debut film, Jill Li won the trust of protesters from the village. She followed them closely as they fought for justice for six years, during which time the hope they placed in a new, fair village council, and their loyalty to the central government in Beijing, ultimately made way for disillusionment. The director focuses on a small number of key figures in the uprising. One of them is Lin, who becomes chair of the new village council after an election organized by local citizens. In the years that follow, however, the mood turns. The new council proves unable to regain the confiscated land, and the illegal land transactions continue as before. Are the new administrators just as corrupt as their predecessors? Arrests are made, and the council loses the confidence of the people. It turns out that the path to true democracy is a rocky one. DirectorJill Li is a graduate of City University of Hong Kong and a first-time documentarian. For her 2019 film Lost Course, Li embedded herself in the village of Wukan, southern China, for several years starting in 2011, and essayed an unprecedented experiment in local democracy. Li went on to win the award for Best Documentary at the 2020 Golden Horse Awards.
