NYU EAS Korean Speaker Series
“The World and Cinema beyond Empire: On Exile Trilogy”
by SoYoung Kim (Cinema Studies at Korean National University of Arts)
Please join us for the opportunity to hear SoYoung Kim, professor in cinema studies at Korea National University of Arts as well as documentary film maker, speaks about her documentary film series Exile Trilogy: Heart of Snow, Heart of Blood (2014), Sound of Nomad: Koryo Arirang (2016) and Goodbye My Love, NK (forthcoming). Kim traces the unknown history of Korean diaspora (Koryo people) and their migration around Eurasia from the Far East Russia, Siberia to Central Asia. Kim’s exile trilogy is the story about survivors and descendants of Koryo people, whose lives can trigger seminal questions on national and transnational construction of “Korean” identity in the world, and the meaning of geopolitical sense of sovereignty in the nomadic space of dispersion and dissemination. Please see the attached poster for more information on her presentation!
