The upper stream of Hongjecheon has a long history. This region has been called different names in different eras. Its namesakes have been buildings in nearby areas, all of which now disappeared; places like the Shinyoung Shopping Complex, which was dismantled; Baeksukdongcheon, an area now under restoration plan; Segumjeong, an already-restored building. Buildings are not the only objects of restoration. The history of Segumjeong and Hongjecheon was also restored. Perhaps everything the film shows may be a kind of restoration
Nowadays, film critics do not have to rely on written or verbal language anymore.

Mediact opens a course of audio visual film critic yearly to expand the scope of film ciritic and visual art.
