Seoul Women Happiness 2008

Directed by Ulrike Ottinger

In fall 2007 the Women's Film Festival Seoul issued a call that did not promise, like the pirate queen Madame X, "gold, love, and adventure," but something as tempting as the opportunity to film a 15-minute short in Korea, which, assembled as one of six parts of an omnibus production, would open the 10th festival in 2008. I signaled my acceptance and voilà: SEOUL WOMEN HAPPINESS.
