This Is Not a Koreanobela: A Film Trilogy
The second edition continues this Wednesday featuring the video work of Jane Jin Kaisen.
Accentuation is a multi-layered experimental short film built up around thirteen chapters of the novel Journey from Holmen’s Canal to the Eastern Part of Amager by the Danish poet and fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen. The structure of the novel is interweaved with the story of an international adoptee’s journey and reunion with her birth family in South Korea. Accentuation complicates notions of history, memory, and belonging as a non-chronological and fractured process of negotiation. Accentuation extends beyond the personal by implying how international adoption as a phenomenon is also part of South Korea’s patriarchy and painful decolonization and modernization process, while on the other hand, it was fostered by Western Orientalism and cultural hegemony.
Jane Jin Kaisen works with film, video, performance, text, and photography. Born in South Korea (1980), adopted to Denmark and educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, she is currently a Fulbright scholar at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in New York. She is also a co-founder of Grassroots Cinema Center for Women of Asia, co-founder of the collective Chamber of Public Secrets, broadcasting independent news on tv.-tv, a non-profit TV station in Denmark and an organizer of Made In Video International Festival of Video Journalism in Copenhagen.

Readings and open mic
Andrea Terán returns this month (and every last Wednesday of the month hereon) with her platoon of bloody, razor-edged, biting, but honeyed night readers in their shining bullet-proof armors. Poetry readings and open mics will never be the same again, at least along the Maginhawa strip of Teachers Village East, with this sweet beer guzzling bunch of award-winning poets and writers: Mookie Katigbak, Mark Cayanan, Anina Abola, Mikael Co, Mia Tijam, Kash Avena, Adam David, and Larry Ypil.
