About the Director

Roh Gyeong-Tae, a former stockbroker, began his career in filmmaking with a series of experimental short films. His first feature film, The Last Dining Table, a portrait of discarded people living on the outskirts of Seoul, and frequently described as poetry on film, brought Roh international attention. With Land of Scarecrows, a challenging, cryptic and beautiful tableau of people on the fringe of society, Roh has emerged as a major talent.
