서울 영등포구 당산동 출생. 한국예술종합학교 방송영상과 다큐멘터리 전공. 주로 기록되지 못한 시간과 기억을 도시 공간의 이미지로 은유하여 영화라는 매체로 표현하는데 관심 있다. 자신이 살았던 당산동의 사적 기억와 공적 역사가 교차하는 불안의 풍경을 그린 <당산>, IMF를 어린 시절 겪은 한국, 태국 청년들이 어떻게 살아가는지에 대한 다큐멘터리 <다행히 아무도 나를 모른다>을 공동연출하고, 식민지 시기 강제동원여성노무자의 증언과 기억을 통해 영등포에 지워진 여성의 역사를 다시 바라보는 <여공의 밤>을 연출했다.
Geonhee Kim
Born in Dangsan-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea. I majored in documentaries at The School of Film, TV & Multimedia of Korea National University of Arts. I am interested in metaphorizing time and memory that have not been recorded mainly into images of urban spaces through the films. I directed several documentaries: Dangsan (2017) which depicts the scenes of anxiety intersecting historical and personal memories in Dangsan-dong; Fortunately, No One Knows Me (2018) which is about how young Korean and Thai people live after Asian Financial Crisis in 1997; The Night of the Factory Girls (2023), which revisits the erased history of women in Yeongdeungpo through testimonies and memories of forced mobilization during the colonial era. Through these works, I aim to trace the fragile boundary between personal memory and collective history, and to bring back the voices and spaces that have been left unrecorded.
