FROM WIkipedia: In 1995, upon moving to the United States for her MFA, Kim began shooting Gina Kim’s Video Diary. In it, Kim realizes a vision of the modern female nomad—one who travels fluidly not only between Asia and America, but between multiple languages, film genres, and personal, local and cinematic histories. Screened at the Berlin Film Festival, Gina Kim’s Video Diary was described in the catalogue as “an extremely personal account of one' woman's fears, fantasies and projections” that “provides the viewer with an unusual self-portrait that is deeply unsettling, moving and life-affirming," and now it is frequently cited as a classic in the genre of personal documentaries.
