Abyss (무저갱)

No matter how hard he trieS, it’s impossible to forget.

As the historical injustice persists, so the pain is magnified. ThIs memory is marked internally as someTHING intractable - AByss (2021)

The trailer for the new film we have been working on about the Daejeon Massacre is now available. The title is 무저갱 (Mu jeo gaeng), and it follows the stories of the bereaved families as well as the excavations and my research on Winnington.

The film bases itself on the story of a poem written by an orphan of the Korean War, and its journey into being made into a song by a composer and the poet’s granddaughter,

In-between is the story of massacre itself, hauntingly rendered by an award winning South Korean animator.

This week I am involved in the filming of a KBS documentary that will premiere during June in South Korea on the anniversary of the Korean War. I will also put up more details regarding this at a later date.

Below is the trailer and a few screenshots from Abyss in the meantime. I’m hoping I can arrange a few screenings in the UK later this year. Let me know if you are interested on the contact page.
