심사평:
“The Korean filmmaker, Kwang-Ju Son: The Holy City is an ambitious filmic project that offers an unexpected portrayal of organised Christianity in the modern state of Korea. “Korean Christianity, an imported faith, has historically navigated tensions with colonialism, division, and modernization. The project examines this `otherness,‘ particularly how the cross, embodying Korea’s modern history, is perceived and transformed”, says the artist in the application. While exploring Christianity’s political and economic alignments in South Korea in a historical context and its current social embeddedness, or the lack thereof, the filmic project positions the cross as a cultural and historical artifact that reflects the transformations and distortions of modernity. Son will examine religion’s impact as a driver of both social ideological cohesion on one hand and, conversely, social repression on the other. We find this robust choice of subject matter and her intelligent and ambitious form of filmmaking very exciting at this time.”
