Yeon Sang-ho returns to Busan festival with AI-themed film ‘Paradise Lost’

Yeon Sang-ho says an award for his animated film ‘The King of Pigs’ at the Busan festival 15 years ago helped him build a career making films.

He has returned with ‘Paradise Lost,’ about a mother who reunites with her missing son after nine years.

An AI program has created a perfect version of the son, making the real reunion unsettling.

The film asks what makes a person human, including the flaws and changes that AI may not capture.
