A Portrait of Photography
2026, Korean. Directed by Koh Hee-young.
Japanese photojournalist Kuwabara Shisei boards a flight to Korea. Since his first visit in 1964 as a 27-year-old, Shisei has spent six decades documenting the turbulence of Korea's modern history: Cheonggyecheon, military camp towns, the Vietnam War deployment, and democracy movements. Now elderly, he returns, believing this might be his final journey. He carries a mission: to revisit the places and people that defined his life’s work. The film follows the photographer’s footsteps back into the heart of these historical sites.
