So To Speak, Light | Wonwoo Kim | SOUTH KOREA, FRANCE | 2022 | Digital Video | 83 MIN | Korean with English subtitles | WORLD PREMIER


A meditation on life as it continues after loss, so to speak, Light hesitantly welcomes viewers into the world of filmmaker Wonwoon Kim as he journeys home to South Korea from France to attend his grandmother’s funeral.

Simple memories of his now-deceased grandparents speckle the film as Wonwoo aimlessly wanders through the day-to-day routine in his hometown. Ruminating on light, photography, family resemblance, return, and the ability for film to capture more than a moment, Wonwoo asks: How should we endure? This film, a collection of now, is his answer.


Join us for a conversation with the director Wonwoo Kim following the screening.
