In the Absence (Korean: 부재의기억) is a 2018 South Korean–American short documentary film that depicts the sinking of the MV Sewol in 2014, in which three hundred people – mostly school children from Danwon High School – lost their lives.

Production

The film was requested by the film distributor Field of Vision, who was looking for a short documentary regarding the background of the 2016 Candelight Vigil for the impeachment of then South Korean president Park Geun-hye. With guilt that he had not participated in documenting the moments of the Sewol incident as it happened, the film focused on tracing the origins of the sufferings caused by the incident.
