Taiwanese auteur Tsai Ming Liang is filming the latest instalment of his long-running Walker film series in South Korea’s Jeonju.
Close collaborator Lee Kang-Sheng returns as a slow-moving figure, clad in a monk’s robe with shaved head and bare feet. Lao actor Anong Houngheuangsy joins Lee in the cast.
The shoot, supported by Jeonju International Film Festival, began in September and is set to wrap this month. The project was first announced when Tsai and Lee attended Jeonju in 2024.
The duo are at the ongoing Busan International Film Festival with Dust, their 11th collaboration on the Walker series that was shot in San Sebastian, Spain. It premiered out of competition at Venice before heading to San Sebastian film festival.
Tsai shot the first in the series, titled No Form, in Taipei in 2012. The long-running series has been filmed in cities around the world. Lee has since become known as a slow-walking performance artist.
