My Turn (Nae Chalye)/Dir : Nakyung Kim/Short Fiction/15 Min./Korean/South Korea
Nurse Hyun-jung becomes pregnant. Tension and backlash surface among the hospital nurses with the news of Hyun-jung’s pregnancy, which takes place out of the previously set order of pregnancies among the nurses. How did things end up being this way, with Hyun-jung not being congratulated for her pregnancy? The film takes the ‘pregnancy order system,’ which is prevalent in workplaces with a high proportion of female employees and has been frequently discussed by the media, as a subject matter and narrates the working conditions of women and the issue of pregnancy within the workplace from a feminist perspective. (Kay KWAK)
Director: KIM Na-kyung studied film directing in Dongguk University and Korea National University of Arts. She produced a series of short films such as ‘I do need the certificate of sanitation right now!’, ‘I do need to go study abroad right now!’, Greed and Ghost Light.
