“I am surprised with the fan
following I have in Kerala” said Kim Ki Duk, the biggest attraction of 18th
IFFK. The ace South Korean Director said that people love his film since they
are made from his heart. He was talking in the ‘in conversation’ program with
Iyesha Geetha Abbas.
According to Kim Ki Duk, narcissism
is an essential quality for a filmmaker. Script is the most important part of
the film, he added. “I write down things in my journeys and in the end they
become the raw material of my script. I do discuss my script with actors in pre
production stage, so that no changes are made on it while shooting the film”,
he explained.
“Violence and Peace are both the
same”, opined Kim Ki Duk who garnered international notoriety for depicting violence
in his films. He explained that ‘Moebius’, his latest film, is brutal as it
shows the closer picture of humanity. According to him, his films are his questions
towards the violent society. He said that many people don’t know the violence
that is happening around them and hoped that his film become an eye opener for
them.
”Believe in yourself, in your
thoughts and what you know” he said as a message to young directors. He said
his father is the biggest inspiration for him. Kim said his perception of
himself is well portrayed in ‘Arirang’ and that he’s the one who has gone
through many traumas in life as well as in film making. He also sang the Korean
song “Arirang” on the request of audience.
A Malayalam book about Kim Ki Duk
named as ‘Kim Ki Duk: Silence and Violence’ written by K.B Venu and published
by Kerala State Chalachitra Academy, as a part of 18th IFFK, was
released in the function. Krishnaprasad, actor and the committee chairman of in
conversation programme, handed over a copy to Kim Ki Duk.
