Save MediACT of South Korea! Director Kim Mi-re speaks volumes - Live available on the Internet
A support and solidarity event took place at MediR at Takadanobaba, Tokyo, on February 21, from 12:00 to 14:00, for MediACT that had been driven out of the Media Center at Gwanghwamun, Seoul at the end of January, as part of the media bashing by President Lee Myung-bak. The guest speaker was Mr. Kim Mi-re visiting Japan who had directed a documentary film "Weabak (Korean for sleep-out)". Like in Mr.Kim's case, MediAct had been a retaining element for Korean independent film making. The Q and A session was lively around the topic like the true nature of the recent attack by the Korean administration. About 20 participants also visited MediR Gallery. The interviewer was Mr. Yu Negoro, an auteur. The event was broadcast live and accessed from around the country. Photo: Kim Mi-re at the center, and Yu Negoro on the left.
韓国メディアクトを救え!キム・ミレ監督大いに語る~ネットでライブ配信
1月末に李明博政権のメディア運動つぶしによって、ソウル・光化門の映像メディアセンターを追われたMEDIACT(メディアクト)を応援・連帯するイベントが、2月21日12~14時に、東京・高田馬場のメディアールで開催された。ゲストは来日中のドキュメンタリー映画「外泊」監督のキム・ミレさん。キムさんの映画もそうだが、韓国独立映画制作の下支えをしてきたのがMediACTであった。そうした役割を果たしているMediACTの意義や、今回の政権による攻撃の本質などをめぐって、活発な質疑があった。ギャラリーにも約20名が参加した。聞き手は、映像作家の根来祐さん。イベントはライブ配信され、全国から視聴があった。 *写真=中央がキム・ミレさん、左が根来祐さん
