| Discussion with Director Roh Gyeong-Tae |
|
Tues, Sept 28 A major emerging talent, and winner of the New Currents award at this year's Pusan International Film Festival, Director Roh Gyeong-Tae will discuss his film Land of Scarecrows. Moderated by director and professor Soopum Sohn.
Roh Gyeong-Tae, a former stockbroker, began his career in filmmaking with a series of experimental short films. His first feature film, The Last Dining Table, a portrait of discarded people living on the outskirts of Seoul, and frequently described as poetry on film, brought Roh international attention. With Land of Scarecrows, a challenging, cryptic and beautiful tableau of people on the fringe of society, Roh has emerged as a major talent. Soopum Sohn is a filmmaker and professor of film at Long Island University. His feature length film Make Yourself at Home, stars one of Korea's leading actresses Song Hye-Gyo.
