The film revolves around the mountain on the border between North Korea and China, the border area between the Korean peninsula and China. As one mountain is divided by the borderline, there are a variety of names, fables, and ways of dealing with it. It is called Baekdusan in South and North Korea, and Chángbáishān in China, and it has the various scale of folk stories from the myth of Dangun to tribal tales. The film slowly flows on the scenery of Baekdusan as well as Chángbáishān. From the cloud-covered mysterious Cheonji (a volcanic lake) to those who visit here, it puts space and people together into a landscape. In the film, the diversity and complexity of the border area are figured by the different language such as English, Chinese, and Korean with North Korean, South Korean and Chinese accents. If the borderline is formed by human rather than by nature, Tale of One or Many Mountains diversifies the multidimensional feature of the border area with the language of the human race. The latest film by Jane Jin Kaizen who has been working on the diaspora issue. [LEE Seungmin]
