Asian American International Film Festival Closing Night Presentation

The 36th Asian American International Film Festival Closing Night Presentation

Presented by Asian CineVision in association with Asia Society

Co-sponsored by The Korea Society

East Coast Premiere

OUR HOMELAND
Dir. YANG Yonghi. 2012. Japan. 100 min. In Japanese and Korean with English subtitles.

Sent decades ago as a child to North Korea under a repatriation program, Sungho returns to Japan for a temporary medical visit. A wrenching human drama unfolds as his family grapples with why he was ever let go. Under the constant surveillance by an accompanying North Korean official, Sungho and his family reunite again in this sensitive tale inspired by Korean-Japanese director YANG Yonghi's true family story. Capturing the tender feelings of separation, memory, and belonging, the film also provides a rare glimpse into the life of ethnic Koreans in Japan.

Q&A with director moderated by La Frances Hui, Asia Society Film Curator.

Watch the Q&A on video here.
