Hong Sang-soo is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Hong Sang-soo as South Korean film director (born 1960).
Hong Sang-soo was born at Seoul in 1960. His recorded nationality is South Korea. He trained at Chung-Ang University and School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.
The record gives his roles in the industry as film director, screenwriter and executive producer.
A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.
That the work was made from South Korea shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Hong Sang-soo is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
