SFF'S 2020 Weekly Series 'Reverse Shot' looks back at the 2019 Meet the Filmmakers talk with Director Bong Joon-Ho.

Watch the Academy Award-winning filmmaker in conversation with Sydney Film Festival Director, Nashen Moodley. The talk was recorded after the Australian premiere of 'Parasite' at the Festival in 2019.

Director Bong discusses the ins and outs of what makes Parasite so thrilling, and why it’s struck a chord with Korean – and international – audiences. Plus, he reveals what he learnt making his early films, and which Australian cult classic he’s seen more than 20 times.

The director is a long-time Festival favourite: he made his SFF debut in 2004 with the brilliant crime drama Memories of Murder and returned to the Festival with Snowpiercer (SFF 2014) and Okja (SFF 2017). Parasite won the 2019 Sydney Film Prize and went on to win four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
