Kim Jung-in’s A Long Way to School (2020) Opens the 12^th DMZ Documentary Film Festival

A graduate film, A Long Way to School (2020) by director Kim Jung-in (School of Film, TV & Multimedia), opened the 12th DMZ Documentary Film Festival (DMZ Doc Festival). 

Kim’s film uncovers the prejudices and discrimination present in Korean society through the conflicts around the reopening of Kongjin Elementary School in Gangseo District in 2017. Besides, a total of six documentary films by our current and graduate students entered this year’s DMZ Doc Festival both in competition and non-competition sections. A current student of the Department of Broadcasting, Kim Dojoon’s Bora Bora (2020), received an invitation to the non-competition section of the Korean Docs Showcase. Graduate Park Kunje’s Some Errors of the Construction-universe (2020) made an entry to the short competition. 

This year, the students of the School of Film, TV & Multimedia indeed showed strong performance as Emmanuel Moon-Chil Park’s Comfort (2020), Ju Hyunsook’s Yellow Ribbon (2020), and Bae Kkotnarae’s Dots (2019) were all called for Korean Docs Showcase.
