"A documentary on the craft of Korean ceramics will be competing in
the documentary portion of the upcoming Sundance Film Festival, reports the Korea Times.
A Thousand Year Journey,
directed by Michael Oblowitz, explores the history of the craft in
Korea, from the Goryeo Porcelains to the Joseon White Porcelain. It will
feature five Korean master ceramicists and their processes in creating
their pieces.
[...]
The traditional craft of Korean ceramics has experienced a recent
resurgence in Icheon, Korea, but it has yet to enjoy the same widespread
global popularity of Chinese and Japanese ceramics, according to Edward
Ahn, president of the Cultural Foundation of America. The documentary,
he hopes, will increase knowledge of the art."
