Abstracted in Image and Sound: Films by Hangjun Lee

“The films of Lee Hangjun challenge the viewer to materialize a concept rather than conceptualize material.”

—Kim Gok (South Korean filmmaker)

Coming near the end of his month-long production residency at the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) Seoul-based filmmaker Hangjun Lee presents recent films and works in progress. Taking the exploration of the film form and its material as the basis for his work Hangjun illuminates the surface of the image, filling it with sound and abstract visions.
