Jin Ju Lee is a film and video editor based in Berlin. She obtained her filmmaking education at Dongguk University in Seoul. Her debut short film 'Dying Vincent' (2018) received the 'Excellent Film' award at the Asia International Youth Film Festival, inspiring her to specialize in film editing.
Transitioning to freelance work, she made her mark as the editor of the animated documentary 'Melody' (2021), a film that explored the lives of individuals dealing with schizophrenia. This project was showcased at prestigious festivals, including the Seoul Independent Film Festival, DMZ International Documentary Film Festival, and Seoul Women’s Film Festival.
In 2021, she extended her horizons by pursuing film editing studies at Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF in Germany. Collaborating with diverse film and video productions, she ensures harmony between artistic vision and editing precision.
Currently, Jin Ju Lee is immersed in several projects spanning both Korea and Germany, navigating the realms of narrative-based non-fiction and fiction with equal adeptness.
