In 2003, his feature-length documentary ‘EDIT’ was screened at Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival and Museum of Modern Art of New York. He is currently a professor of Film Dept. (M.F.A course) at Chung-Ang University, Korea. His next non-fiction work, Between, arrived in 2006 and screened at the Tallin and Thessaloniki International Film Festival. LEE reached his biggest audience yet with the Buddhism documentary On the Road, which debuted at the Jeonju International Film Festival in 2012 and went on to attract over 50,000 viewers in 2013, a stellar figure for an independent non-fiction film. It wouldn’t be long before he scored a hit documentary again as his follow-up feature <The Hospice>, which screened at the Busan International Film Festival, drew almost 40,000 spectators towards the end of 2014. The film focuses on the treatment of elderly citizens in the last stages of life in Korea.Less
