BIFF2020 Official Interview
Film l FIGHTER
Director l Jéro YUN
Director Jéro Yun has made two documentaries and one feature film Beautiful Days introduced as the opening film of the Busan International Film Festival 2018. This year, he has both a feature film and a documentary selected for Vision and Wide Angle. Director Yun again utilizes a North Korean defector as the main character in FIGHTER. Jin-ah begins her life in South Korea by working as a cleaning lady at a boxing dojo (club), where she once again faces a life-changing moment. FIGHTER uses discretion in depicting the life of a defector, yet candidly captures the bleak reality she goes through. It reaches a harmony in reflecting a character with creative aesthetic attempts.
