PARK JI-HOON

PARK Ji-hoon (박지훈) is an emerging South Korean filmmaker whose work explores the intersections of memory, identity, and human connection through a distinctive visual language. He gained critical recognition with his short film Variation (2023), a poetic meditation on loss and transformation that premiered at the Busan International Film Festival. With a background in fine arts and experimental cinema, PARK's filmmaking is characterized by its atmospheric compositions, elliptical storytelling, and meticulous sound design. His works often employ silence and empty spaces as narrative devices, creating what critics have described as "a cinema of haunting absences." Variation in particular has been noted for its innovative approach to temporal structure, blending past and present through subtle visual motifs.
