    Voices of the Silenced

    PARK Maeui PARK Soo-nam 2023 Japan, South Korea color 142min DCP
    As a second-generation Zainichi, PARK interviewed countless compatriots about their colonized experiences, creating powerful records for the voiceless. Nearing ninety and facing blindness, she struggles with managing her extensive archive. Her daughter helps digitize nearly fifty hours of 16mm film, giving new life to these memories. Directed by mother and daughter, Voices of the Silenced reveals familial reconciliation and the passing of the torch as documentarians.

    PARK Maeui

    A third-generation Zainichi born in 1968, PARK Soonam’s daughter has worked on her mother’s films since her teens. As her mother lost her eyesight, she took on film editing, restoration, and co-directing Voices of the Silenced.

    PARK Soo-nam

    Born in 1935, a second-generation Zainichi, PARK has long studied the living conditions of her compatriots and colonial history. Her works, including books and documentaries, provide valuable testimonies on Korean A-bomb victims, comfort women and military conscription.
