The Night of the Factory Girls (2023)

The story begins with a photo from the colonial period about 100 years ago. Through this photo, I knew that many women worked in factories in Yeongdeungpo a long time ago, and since the National Mobilization Law of 1938, young girls were forcibly mobilized to work in factories for war. However, their traces are nowhere to be found in Yeongdeungpo today.

Review

`121231The Night of the Factory Girls begins with contemplations on what existed in the past but have disappeared or left untold and forgotten in the present, reluctantly starting with Shimizu Hiroshi’s Keijo because the first Korean documentary The Panoramic View of the Whole City of Kyeongsung has been lost. Director Kim Geonhee believes that a story that isn’t told at a proper time is considered pure fiction in another era, just like the story of the girls who were forcibly brought to work at textile factories in Yeongdeungpo during the Japanese colonial rule of Korea. Their existence has never been spoken of until now. The film listens to their stories and further expands into the evolution of Yeongdeungpo. With abundant archival materials, aphoristic subtitles that replace voiceover, and restrained shots with auteurial colors, The Night of the Factory Girls solidly and calmly captures the memories and traces of 100 years.
