Ebook: ReFocus: The Films of Yim Soon-rye

Amidst the male-dominated South Korean cinema and the film industry, Yim Soon-rye has consistently produced critically and commercially influential films, has been recognized at numerous film festivals and has achieved awards both in and outside of Korea. She has produced or directed over a dozen films including shorts – the highest number that any woman director has ever achieved in Korea. She is also only Korean female director with a large budget tentpole film (Gyoseob, tentatively scheduled to be released in 2021) under her belt. Refocus: The Films of Yim Soon-rye is the first English-language book that provides critical readings of Yim’s work and addresses and positions her in the larger historical context of Korean cinema and women filmmakers in the world.
