DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Nadine Misong Jin

Nadine Misong Jin is a Korean filmmaker based in New York and Seoul. She is drawn to cinema of the seer - where characters slowly die from what they witness, youth becomes a battlefield, and the intrusive nature of the world is ever-present. At the core of her work lies the question of whether one can divide oneself from systemic, societal conditions. She is a Pedro Costa Lab (Yucatán, Mexico) fellow, and her short film Juk won a Grand Prize at the DGA Student Awards. Her latest project, Silent Voices, is a Julia S. Gouw Short Film Challenge winner and is supported by CAPE and Janet Yang Productions. It has been selected for its premiere at the 2026 Festival de Cannes (La Cinef). ​After studying English literature and film directing at Sungkyunkwan University, she is currently an MFA Film candidate at Columbia University
