SHIM Dal-gi has always been immersed in the performing arts, both her parents being themselves stage actors and having produced all together their own small plays since she was in elementary school. It was however as a director that she started her film career, having presented the short <Subconscious and Area> (2016) at the Seoul International women’s Film Festival. Her first screen appearances came two years later in a string of short movies, among which <Dong-a> (2018), Korean Short Competition Grand Prize winner at the Jeonju International Film Festival, for which SHIM also received a Special Mention from the Jury at the Mise-en-scene Short Film Festival. She was recently seen in JEON Go-woon’s segment titled <Kiss Burn> that was part of Netflix anthology film <Persona> (2019), as well as in the courtroom drama <Juror 8> (2018), in which she played the daughter of the defendant.
