Space is an important theme in recent queer independent documentaries. In this article, I will explore the meaning of sexual identity and space in Korean queer independent documentaries, focusing on the documentaries Home Ground and Life Unrehearsed. First, Home Ground traces spaces for LGBT people from the 1970s to the present day, centered on the life of Yoon Kim Myung-woo, the owner of Lesbos, the first lesbian bar in Korea, which still operates as a bar for queer people today. In addition to on-location footage, the film uses oral histories, found footage, and re-enactments to synthesize the memories and experiences of LGBT people who have been in and out of these spaces, while also addressing the importance of LGBT spaces as safe spaces for people to be themselves. Next, the film Life Unrehearsed focuses on the lives of Kim In-sun and Lee Soo-hyun, a lesbian couple in their 70s who moved to Germany from South Korea in the 1970s. Connected to different communities in Germany, the film shows the couple's lesbian romance and caregiving centered around the private space of their home. On the other hand, the fact that they document the lives of older LGBT people, who are rarely seen within the Korean LGBT community, reminds us that these two documentaries are also worthy of attention on the topic of LGBT aging. From this perspective, it can be said that the lives of Yoon, Kim, In-sun, and Lee strive to create a space where people in similar conditions to themselves can feel comfortable based on their own identity, country, and community.
