The London Korean Film Festival’s Artist Video strand – programmed and presented in partnership with LUX – brings the work of Korean artists working with the moving image to the UK.
This year’s strand showcases the work of two Korean artists working with the moving image in very different and yet distinct ways: Kim Kyungmook and Kwon Hayoun. Whereas Kim’s personal, and often autobiographical, filmmaking oscillates between narrative and documentary modes – he has directed a number of acclaimed features including Stateless Things (2011) and Futureless Things (2014)– Kwon’s celebrated short films combine CGI animation with a documentary approach, blurring the lines between facts and fiction, the real and the “virtual”.
