TREELESS MOUNTAIN: Q & A with writer/director SO YONG KIM (Recorded April 22, 2009)

Summary: TREELESS MOUNTAIN: FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE ACCLAIMED FEATURE, IN BETWEEN DAYS, comes this gentle and restrained semi-autobiographical account of two little girls. At age 6, Jin is the elder, and when mom leaves the girls to their diffident aunt in order to seek out her missing husband, Jin is forced to discover the emotional resources needed to survive. The story is told from a child’s perspective, its twists and turns made profoundly believable by the extraordinarily subtle per formances of the two young leads. A portrait of childhood as a time of delicate growth, unforeseen sadness and charming surprises. This podcast is a recording of the Q & A with writer/director SO YONG KIM, recorded April 22, 2009, at Film Forum.
