Synopsis

"Diary of Yunbogi" is presented as an experimental montage of still photographs, exploring themes of poverty and historical responsibility through the imagined diary of a six-year-old Korean boy living in a South Korean slum. The film utilizes photographs taken during Ōshima’s 1965 research trip to Korea, contrasting the child's daily efforts to care for his siblings with the director's reflections on Japanese–Korean relations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
