Program Note
Gunsan is a city of outlanders that has experienced waves of deterioration and revivals. Gunsan, a sparse area prior to 1910, opened doors for workers from all over Korea after it was exploited for rice harvesting during the Japanese colonial period. After liberation, the American military moved in along with large conglomerates that came to build factories, but they are now all shutting down. What remained from this history made the topography and landscape of the town. In the film, cameras float around the lonely landscape of Gunsan. A dancer from Switzerland named Anna mourns the scenes of Gunsan with sorrowful gestures, new musicians in town write a piece of music called City of Outlanders in lament. (HONG Eunmi)
