Yoon Yong-gyu (Korean: 윤종규, born 29 December 1912), also known as Yun Yong-kyu, was a Korean film director. He made his first film A Hometown in Heart (1949) in South Korea before defecting to the North to pursue his filmmaking career.[1]
The classic A Hometown in Heart, released on DVD in 2011 by the Korean Federation of Film Archives and on Blu-ray in 2023 by Blue Kino,[2] was one of the most important films made in Korea after its liberation from Japan. Based on Ham Se Deok's play A Little Monk,[3] it tells the story of Do-seong, a child monk (Yoo Min) who longs for his mother, who has abandoned him. Stanley Park remade the film in 2014 as A Hometown in my Heart (내마음의고향, Nae maeumeui goyang).[4]
Teen Guerrillas was one of the first North Korean films, shot during the war.
