Korean film “Weabak” (Stay out overnight) independently shown ? Women who occupied a huge supermarket for struggle
A South Korean film “Weabak” (Stay out overnight), directly by Kim Mi-re, is popular. However, it has not been showing in theaters. The film was invited to the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in 2009 and has been shown in Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo through independent distribution channels. This is a documentary of 500 female cashiers who occupied a floor of a huge supermarket “Home Ever” in Seoul for 510 days. I was very impressed with their brightness. 30 to 40 cash registers are lining, and each of them is held by a woman bringing in blankets to defend their workplace. The women sing, dance and join hands with one another, making the scene as a grand theater. (Kinoshita Masaaki)
韓国映画「外泊」自主上映中~巨大マーケットを占拠して闘った女性たち
キム・ミレ監督の韓国映画「外泊」が評判を呼んでいる。といってもこの映画、劇場公開されているわけではない。2009年山形国際ドキュメンタリー映画際に招待され、京都、大阪、東京などで自主上映されている。ソウルの巨大マーケットの「ホームエバー」で500人の女性レジ係が売り場を占拠して510日も闘ったドキュメント。これが深刻ぶらない明るいタッチなので感動した。レジのカウンターがずらり30~40台も並び、その一台一台に女性たちが毛布を持ち込んで寝起きし、職場を死守する。彼女らは歌ったり踊ったりスクラムを組んだりと、店内は壮大な劇場と化している。(木下昌明)
