Diaspora Shorts
The transnational political activities that are carried out as a way of recording and informing, deals with the coup d¡¯état in Hnyune¡¯s home country of Myanmar. Since this is an incident that Hnyune experienced herself, it is difficult for her to letting go of her guilt and longing for her home country while living peacefully in South Korea. The film induces the audience to look at the coup from Hnyune¡¯s point of view. Others who came to Korea from Myanmar, like Hnyune, speak smoothly when they are being interviewed about events in their home country, but they take a pause when they have to speak about their family, acquaintances, and feelings for their home country. At this moment of pause, the senses of place between inside and outside are mixed, and the audience sees the coup again from the same perspective as Hnyune. Even though it¡¯s far away. (MIN Jeeyeon)
