What we know
A Portrait of Photography (2026)
Japanese photojournalist Kuwabara Shisei boards a flight to Korea. Since his first visit in 1964 as a 27-year-old, Shisei has spent six decades documenting the turbulence of Korea's modern history: Cheonggyecheon, military camp towns, the Vietnam War deployment, and democracy movements. Now elderly, he returns, believing this might be his final journey. He carries a mission: to revisit the places and people that defined his life’s work. The film follows the photographer’s footsteps back into the heart of these historical sites.
It shares its release window with Fall 2: Deadpoint, so expect the two fanbases to be reacting side by side.
A Portrait of Photography opens in theaters on September 2, 2026.
