With two works of locality cinema dealing with Jeju-do, Jiseul and Jeju Prayer, this study examined the representation of local memories. Because of the geographically special position and the state power of Jeju-do, a mix of devastated scars, narratives and work for creating a new local image form a unique locality of this region. Of them, Jeju's April 3 Incident is an event that had a significant impact in talking about Jeju-do’s locality. While discussions about the Jeju’s April 3 Massacre, which was genocide, have been introduced in various texts, this study continued the discussions with two incidents reproduced through films. Jeju's April 3 Massacre on April 3, 1948 is officially recorded as an armed uprising in which armed civilians of the left-winger attacked the right-wing circle and the police station but were defeated, but this incident appears in various names. Since there are various names for this, there are various perspectives on it, as well. This study examines the film with this incident as a theoretical background using two frames of genocide and collective memory. Jiseul shows Sun-deok who was devastated, good people and characters like Mu-dong's father, who did not speak even if they were victimized, identified with Jeju-do. Jeju Prayer is not a documentary in a descriptive form but is directed uniquely, in which reproduction, interviews and images are roughly mixed. Both films have different forms and contents but resemble in that they focus on the fact that a lot of innocent people were sacrificed because of ideology and have comfort and condolence to them.
