In between his gothic opuses Thirst (2009) and Stoker, acclaimed director PARK Chan-wook made a more intimate short film with his brother, visual artist PARK Chan-kyong, called Night Fishing. Shot on an iPhone, the film was released to great acclaim, earning the Golden Bear for shorts at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2010. Following last December’s Day Trip (starring SONG Kang-ho), a project commissioned by the outdoor clothing brand Kolon Sport, and a music video for K-pop singer and actress LEE Jung-hyun last month (who also starred in Night Fishing), the siblings have embarked on their latest collaboration, entitled Seoul, Our Movie.

 

Unlike their previous works, the brothers, who direct together under the moniker PARKing CHANce, will not shoot any of the film’s footage. Instead, they are inviting people to send them videos about Seoul (up to five minutes in length) focusing on three categories: ‘Working in Seoul’, ‘Made in Seoul’ and ‘Seoul’, which will cover anything not featured in the first two. The project was initiated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and according to PARK Chan-wook, is not intended as a promotional work.

 

PARKing CHANce will select and edit the videos, which can be submitted on Youtube (www.youtube.com/seoulourmovie) until November 9th.
