Japan, close from Korea but still far, has an extraordinary ‘school’ that other countries don’t have. It is ‘Chōsen Gakkō’ which has more than 60 schools including kindergarten, elementary, milldle and high school, even university for last 70 years despite of discriminations without any kind of recognition from Japanese authorities. What is sad and also embarrassing truth is that we recognized the existence of these educational organizations only 10 years ago. For that 10 years, there have been three documentaries about Chōsen Gakkō including Our School, One for All, All for One, and A Crybaby Boxing Club. But those three films never portray the essence of Chōsen Gakkō, which is ‘visiting homeland (as a school trip in last year of high school)’. They all seemed to be containing fragmentary scenes filmed by a ‘camera’ during their travel to their homeland, North Korea because those three are all directed by South Korean directors. The Sky-Blue Symphony - The Story of the Korean Schools in Japan- presents same contents but overcoming the limitation. The director holds a camera besides students in order to film their very first ‘visiting homeland’ in details as a core element, for sure. This direction can’t be done if the director is not a Korean resident living in Japan as well as a graduate of the school himself and a school parent, too. At last, this ‘special perspective’ makes The Sky-Blue Symphony - The Story of the Korean Schools in Japan- most special. [Kim Myeong-jun]
