Documentary Ock Rang Award

This year¡¯s WFFIS premieres two awardees of the 1st Ock Rang Award. The Ock Rang Award is a support project for documentary films made by women, which was inaugurated during the 4th WFFIS in the year 2002. It is designed to support women creating, experimenting and developing new cinematographic language which will reveal and help change the life of women. WFFIS started this in collaboration with the Ock Rang Cultural Foundation in an effort to value women documentary makers¡¯ passions to record the reality of women¡¯s lives in front of the camera, and transform it into cinematic language as well strengthen the courage of women to choose documentary filmmaking as a means to expose the unjust reality that women are often forced to accept.
