Good Light, Good Air

The title Good Light, Good Air is oddly paradoxical. Keenly working at the point where his artistic identity and persistent attention on modern Korean history meet, director Im in this film focused on where the history of oppression and struggle intersect between Gwangju and Buenos Aires. In both cities, a great number of people who fought against the dictatorship were slaughtered and disappeared. The people of both societies still live with that trauma. When the testimonies of the victims of the two cities cross over, the film gives us chills as the eerie history of the two is very similar. Through Good Light, Good Air, director Im asks us how we will remember the past from where we stand right now.

Des films en campagne

Since the 1960s, each presidential election has been an opportunity for the various parties in the running to present their campaign clips on French television. Sometimes overflowing with inventiveness, more often sober, even sad, and sometimes frankly of bad taste, they remain privileged witnesses of the political history of the country. By dissecting several recent or much older videos, José Bourgarel offers through this documentary a journey into an unknown microcosm, engaged in the realization of a most delicate exercise of communication and of which he unveils on this occasion all the workings.
