In an active and prolific career, his films have won many domestic and international film festival awards as well as considerable box-office success, and helped bring international attention to the Korean film industry. As of spring 2015, he has directed 102 films. Im Kwon-taek was born in Jangseong, Jeollanam-do and grew up in Gwangju. After the Korean War, he moved to Busan in search of work. He then moved to Seoul in 1956, where Jeong Chang-hwa, director of "Five Fingers of Death" (1972), offered him room and board for work as a production assistant. Jeong recommended him for directing in 1961. Im's directorial premiere was with the 1962 film, "Farewell to the Duman River" ("Dumanganga jal itgeola"). Before 1980 he was known primarily as a commercial filmmaker who could efficiently direct as many as eight genre pictures a year, helping to fulfill the quota for domestic pictures set by the government . His desire to make more artistically satisfying films began to show itself with his 1978 film "Jokbo" ("Genealogy" or "The Family Tree"), but the turning point of his career came with the 1981 film "Mandala". From this point his films have been regarded as art-house cinema, and have been regularly shown at international film festivals, and have won numerous awards. Im has continued to explore themes from Korea's past while also focusing on the Korean cultural identity in modern times. Among Im's most notable recent films are "Sopyonje" (1993) and "Chunhyang" (2000), both of which concentrate on the traditional Korean musical art of pansori. The latter film was also based on a traditional Korean legend. Apart from being a critical success, "Sopyonje" was also a success at the box office, becoming the first domestic film to draw over a million viewers in Seoul alone. "Chihwaseon" (2002) was also a critical success, earning him Korea's first Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.<ref></ref> Im Kwon-taek was awarded an Honorary Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2005.
