Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong revealed that his acclaimed film "Possible Love" aimed to explore and communicate about the human condition during a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly influential. He received the prestigious TIFF Ebert Director Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, making him the first Korean filmmaker to win this honor.
Lee is joined by Korean actor Sul Kyung-gu, who appeared in three of his films and presented the award to him. Lee stated that he believed films are a powerful medium for understanding humans, but as he continued to create films, he realized how challenging it is to truly grasp the complexities of human nature. In a world where AI, devoid of ego, is increasingly replacing humans, Lee expressed concern over the growing gap between humans and technology.
