Spider Forest Director Song Il Gon Talks Magicians and Digital Video

song.jpgThe Korea Times has a fantastic interview with director Song Il Gon - best known for Spider Forest - discussing his forty minute, single take film Magician(s) as well as the benefits of digital video technology. Go read this thing and tell me the descriptions of his earlier digital shorts don't have you squirming ...

Interesting read. Coincidentally, I watched his film Flower Island just the other day, and liked it quite a bit. Interestingly enough, in that movie there also was a scene with a girl having a stillborn baby in a toilet. And yes, there was squirming on my part.

On another note, looks like Song Il Gon has two entries on IMDb here and here. I guess IMDb can be somewhat lacking when it comes to Asian cinema.
