Biography
Born in Daegu, KIM majored in film production at Hanyang University. His first feature film < Mokpo, Gangster's Paradise > was developed from this very first impression of a completely different world – in the film’s case, the rural city of Mokpo. He dares to utilize the locally tabooed theme of a true incident, the 5.18 massacre in which the military government brutally murdered the citizens of Gwangju in his newest feature film, < May 18 >
LEE Chang-dong's "Secret Sunshine" is voted the best film of 2007 by a select group of Korean culture and society critics. KIM Ji-hoon's "May 18" came in second and LEE Myeong-se's "M" completes an illustrious top three of in total twelve selected Korean films.
"Secret Sunshine" continued to cement LEE's name among the great auteur cineastes. The film accumulated numerous awards, culminating in JEON Do-yeon's best actress crown at Festival de Cannes.
"May 18" is exemplary how cinema can represent popular memory and assist in creating alternative histories. The popular film chronicles the Gwangju uprising from the point-of-view of the Gwangju citizens who were branded criminals and vandals by the military government and leading conservative newspapers.
"M" is an impressive technical achievement of great aesthetic beauty, containing a layered story which plays on memories, love, and reality.
