Sol Choi

A visionary of the Korean New Wave cinema, Sol Choi was born in 1967 in Busan, South Korea. With a career spanning from the late 1980s to the present, Choi is best known for his intense dramas and psychological thrillers, including acclaimed films such as "Beyond the Shadows" and "Silence of the Mind," both of which have garnered numerous awards within the Korean film industry, although they have yet to be recognized at major international film festivals. Choi's directorial style is marked by his use of slow-moving, contemplative narratives that delve deep into the human psyche, often leaving audiences with more questions than answers. From the heart, Sol Choi is not just a filmmaker, but a profound philosopher who uses the medium of cinema to explore the complexities of human nature and society.
