The Korean film ‘Harbin’ embarked on a journey to Mongolia, Latvia, and Korea to realistically capture the journey of the independence army on screen. Set in 1909, the film tells the breathtaking story of people with the same goal gathering in Harbin amidst pursuit and suspicion.
Director Woo MinHo explained the reason for choosing global locations in three countries by saying, “Filming on actual locations beyond blue screens brings us closer to the hearts of the independence army.” The vast deserts of Mongolia, majestic architecture of Latvia, and the beautiful nature of Korea provide the backdrop for ‘Harbin’, offering audiences a unique visual experience.
Particularly, Mongolia appears as Manchuria, Latvia as Vladivostok, and Korea as the main background for battle scenes, showcasing the true value of global locations. Cinematographer Hong KyungPyo expressed his reverence for their beliefs, saying, “I was humbled by the fact that young independence soldiers roamed the cold winter without a homeland.”
With its unique locations and solid storyline, ‘Harbin’ is garnering much anticipation ahead of its release. The film, scheduled to be released on December 25th, is expected to deliver profound emotions and insights to the audience.
