There’s a passage from Walker Percy’s “The Moviegoer” that has always stayed with filmmaker Koganada: “The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everyday-ness of his own life. To become aware of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.” The filmmaker explains, “I found myself returning to this idea as I was writing and making After Yang, especially as it related to the father, who is struggling to feel connected to this world.”
