By responding to the awakening of female spectators who claim their rights and seek to watch their stories on the big screen, Korean independent cinema sees the emergence of the bodies of female creators, including directors. This paper analyzes two Korean films recently produced by young directors: House of Hummingbird and Under Construction, a fictional film and a documentary respectively. They are essays about women's filmic writing, highlighting the crisis of masculinity and Korean history through their families, especially their fathers. These works reveal that witnessing, writing and rewriting the history of women is not only an act of conveying their testimonies, but also of grasping their marginal position and of understanding a lack of being.
