Park Kwang-Su
Park Kwang-Su was born in Sokcho, Kanhwon-do in 1955. He grew up in Pusan in the southern part of Korea. While studying sculpture in Seoul at the National University, he began making short films on Super-8. After graduating, he founded the Seoul Film Group, which was instrumental in the development of the Korean independent film movement. Films coming out of this movement voiced significant opposition to the military government. He went on to study film at the ESEC Film School in Paris and on his return to Korea, worked as an assistant to Lee Chang-Ho on The Man with Three Coffins. His directorial debut, Chilsu and Mansu, is widely regarded as the cornerstone of Korea's "New Cinema." This and his subsequent features have been screened in many countries and have won numerous prizes at home and abroad. To the Starry Island set an important precedent for Korean independent production by attracting co-production financing from Britain's Channel 4 TV. Park's films all feature stunning and realistic cinematography and give a strong narrative voice to many of Korea's current social and political issues.Filmografía:

| Starring: Ahn Seong-Gi, Kang Su-Yeon, Mun Seong-Geun Director: Park Gwang-Su Genre: Drama Runtime: 100mins Production: Mogad Korea Language: Korean Country: South Korea Although it plays out in Europe after the unification of Germany, this stylish road movie/mystery thriller is yet another view of Korean society: a Korean boy, an artist and a socialist, raised in France by adoptive parents, has disappeared somewhere in East Germany. His sister has retreated into reclusive silence since her adoptive father's death; her journalist lover aims to wake her up by finding her brother. Park explains: "The ultimate theme... is love. And this love is our emotional alternative for the unification of Korea. For unification without love ... signifies mutual death. IMDB | ||||
| To the Starry Island ( Geu seom-e gago shibda ) | 1993 | 101' | ||
| Starring: Ahn Seong-Gi, Mun Seong-Geun, Shim Hye-Jin Director: Park Gwang-Su Genre: Drama Runtime: 101mins Production: Park Gwang-Su Films Language: Korean Country: South Korea Kim Chol y su amigo Jae-gu regresan a su isla nativa en el sur de la península coreana para enterrar al padre de Jae-gu en cumplimiento de su última voluntad. Los isleños protestan por razones que pronto descubriremos y que tienen que ver con acontecimientos ocurridos durante la guerra civil. Ya en la isla y a la espera de que su amigo Jae-gu convenza a los vecinos de la isla, Kim Chol comienza a recorrerla, al mismo que recuerda su infancia, marcada por el inicio de la guerra civil. To The Starry Island es un extraordinario trabajo que marcó el renacimiento del cine de Corea del Sur al principio de los años 90. Desde su primera secuencia Park Kwang-su nos revela las cicatrices dejadas por una guerra civil, que todavía divide al país y que no se han cerrado del todo. De una manera magistral muestra como gente normal es obligada a tomar parte en una guerra en contra de su voluntad. Como son forzados a apoyar a un bando u otro sin saber, como el profesor de la isla, padre de Kim Chol, dice, cual es cual, sobre todo cuando los lugareños son completamente ignorantes en temas de política.
