		<description>Title: Road-schooler&#38;nbsp;Genre: Documentary Year: 2008Length: 44minDirector, Writer, Producer: Bora Lee-KilCinematographer: Bora Lee-Kil, Namhwa Hong
Synopsis: A documentary on the teenagers who boldly challenge the educational system and this era that promote so-called ‘limitless competition’ from elementary schools. The director rejected the educational system herself and deliberates on alternative education. She makes up a new vocabulary, ‘Road-schooler’, to represent the teenagers who deny the names such as home-schoolers or school-quitters and learn on the road about life itself. Program Note&#38;nbsp;A documentary on teenagers who boldly challenge the educational system and contemporary times that promote so-called ‘limitless competition’ from elementary schools. The director rejected the educational system herself and reflects upon alternative education. She&#38;nbsp;coins&#38;nbsp;a new phrase, ‘Road-schooler’, that refers to teenagers who reject terms such as home-schoolers or&#38;nbsp;schoolquitters&#38;nbsp;and learn on the road about life itself. This is a breath of fresh air despite the very competitive Korean educational reality that meets these teenagers who choose their own education. (Jay SOHN)

Bora Lee-Kil (1990, Korea) writes and makes films, believing that being born to Deaf parents makes her a natural storyteller.

It won the jury’s special mention for Asian New Currents at the Yamagata IDFF and was and was released theatrically in Korea and Japan. Untold (2018) received the Jury’s special mention at the Busan IFF. Her current project Our Bodies was invited to the Berlinale Talents’ Doc Station and received the Chicken &#38;amp; Egg Pictures Research &#38;amp; Development Grant supported by Netflix’s Fund For Creative Equity. She is a Union Docs Lab Fellow (2023), Brian Impact Fellow (2021), and Berlinale Talents Alum (2020), received the Gender Champion Award for women leaders worldwide presented by the Dutch government, the Korea Disabled Human Rights Award, and was nominated for the 2024 Chicken &#38;amp; Egg Award.
