Lea GLOB
Korean Premiere
When Danish filmmaker Lea Glob first portrayed the talented young painter Apolonia Sokol in 2009, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. Over 13 years, Lea kept returning to film Apolonia trying to find her place in the art world. Apolonia is confident in her talent, but life is not a storybook; Apolonia¡¯s resilience is put to the test.
Lea GLOBLea GLOB
Graduated as a director from The National Film School of Denmark in 2011 with the short film Meeting My Father Kasper Tophat (2011) about the directors¡¯ involuntary journey into a stranger than fiction story of her own origins. Glob followed the story of Apolonia Sokol, creating a sort of double sided portrait of the artist as a young woman. Apolonia, Apolonia is the director¡¯s first documentary feature as a solo-director.
