SUMMER’S CAMERA

Open Space Arts presents the Chicago premiere of SUMMER’S CAMERA, a tender South Korean coming-of-age romance about first love, grief, photography, and the secrets we inherit from the people we love.

After the death of her father, high school student Summer discovers one of his old cameras and begins using it to document her first year of school. Her lens soon turns toward Yeon-woo, the star of the school’s soccer team, and Summer’s shy crush opens the door to a new understanding of herself. But when she develops the unfinished roll left behind in her father’s camera, Summer uncovers a hidden piece of his life—one that reshapes her own journey into queer identity, memory, and love.

Written and directed by Divine Sung, SUMMER’S CAMERA premiered at BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival and has been praised as a dreamy, beautifully shot queer coming-of-age drama.
