Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV
Certification: 12, 2023, 107mins, Director: Amanda Kim
The awe-inspiring life and times of Nam June Paik, often referred to as the ‘Godfather of Video Art’, who foresaw the internet and meme culture’s importance in the 1970s, and coined the phrase “Electronic
Superhighway.” Nam June Paik was one of the founding fathers of avant garde art in the 20th century and arguably the most famous Korean contemporary artist. This film profiles his art and life, telling the story of
Paik’s meteoric rise in the New York art scene and his Nostradamus-like visions of a future in which “everybody will have his own TV channel.”
