The Meryl Streep Project, dir, Park Hyo-sun, Korea 2024, 103 min., Korean with English subtitles


Book tickets

Creator Park Hyo-sun is both a long-time fan of American actress Meryl Streep as well as a young female film director in the Korean movie industry. As the title might suggest, this documentary–which was eight years in the making–chronicles a fan's longing to meet the actress she looks up to but is also a collection of stories about the anxieties and uncertainties faced by young women in Korean society. "Why do I like you so much, and why is it that I get such comfort from your films?" These questions, which are asked sometimes in jest and sometimes more seriously, necessarily encourage viewers to think about their own place and the world through which they are walking in life. Not as a fangirl but as a feminist, the director invites conversation with other feminists who are endlessly giving inspiration and asking thought-provoking questions. The film cultivates portraits of women, including the director, who are completing the same difficult journey together.
