Presented by UM Center for Korean Studies.
Empress Chung (2005) is the first North and South Korean animated film. It is directed by Nelson Shin, an animator on The Simpsons. The story is an epic adventure based on a famous Korean folk tale about a daughter who sacrifices herself to restore her blind father’s eyesight. As a personal project, Shin spent eight years getting the project off the ground, including three and a half years of pre-production. It was the first film to have been released simultaneously in both North and South Korea, on August 15, 2005. The film was featured at the 2004 Annecy International Animation Festival, (France) and was also recognised with several awards in Korea.
(90 minutes).
