Salangeul chajaseo

Salangeul chajaseo In Search of Love, or Looking For Love is a 1929 Korean film written, directed, produced, edited by and starring Na Woongyu 19021937. The film premiered at the Choseon Theater in April, 1929. More than one thousand extras from Nas hometown Hoeryong were employed in the filming of Salangeul chajaseo, making the film into a symbolic epic national exodus as a protest against the Japanese occupation of Korea. Originally entitled Crossing the Duman River , the film was banned and censored by the Japanese occupying authorities after its first showing. Popular demand caused it to be rereleased, though in a heavily edited form, and renamed In Search of Love. As with the vast majority of Korean films of this era, Salangeul chajaseo is a lost film.
