Desc: Im Lande der Morgenstille: Directed by Norbert Weber. "In the Land of the Silent Morning" was filmed in 1925 by Father Norbert Weber (1870-1956), abbot of the German Order of St. Benedictine Ottilien, during his second visit to Korea. He made this film to promote Korean culture and Korean missionary work in Germany. The film is based on Father Weber's book "In the Land of the Silent Morning" (1915, Seidel Press), and was shot mainly in Seoul, Mt. Kumgang, Wonsan, and Yanji, and is a video recording of handicrafts, agriculture, craft techniques, customs, holidays, and religious ceremonies to introduce Korean folk culture. It also documents the activities of the St. Benedictine Missionaries in Korea and German missionaries in Seoul, especially in North Korea and Manchuria. Father Weber first introduced Korea to Germany through his book and film, "In the Land of the Silent Morning". Father Weber was an artist, a man of letters, and a humble shepherd. "South Korea, the country I couldn't help but fall in love with so quickly," he confessed.
