Jung Henin

A master in the realm of animation and graphic novels, Jung Henin was born in 1965 in Seoul, South Korea. Active since 1987, Henin has chiefly worked in the genres of animation and documentary, with his most notable work being the animated autobiographical film "Approved for Adoption," which won the Audience Award and UNICEF Award in 2012 at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. His style is highly personal, often drawing from his own life experiences and blending the mediums of graphic novels and animation in a unique and compelling manner. Jung Henin, with his deep soul-searching narratives and beautifully detailed animation, is a beacon of storytelling, constantly reminding us of the power of art in exploring and understanding our personal histories.
