Jane Jin Kaisen's most recent work "Halmang" revolves around a group of eight women in their 70s and 80s. It was filmed on the coast of Jeju Island near a lava rock islet that used to serve as a shamanic shrine for the wind goddess Yongdeung Halmang. The women, who have worked and made a living together for most of their lives as Haenyeo sea divers, used to depart together for the sea from this very location. The title Halmang refers to this spiritual aspect as shamanic goddesses in Jeju are referred to as 'halmang' while also being the Jeju term for 'grandmother' and a respectful form of address for a woman. It was also from this area that the film director's grandmother used to depart for the sea as a Haenyeo sea diver during her lifetime. Halmang was produced by Lior Suliman (also known as Dub Mentor) and is comprised of layers of on-site recordings, looped, interleaved and treated to create an immersive sound experience. It also features The Song of the Haenyeos by Gang Gyung Ja and Song of Haenyeo Preservation Association.

And go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up
or you can take your time 
and let the seasons catch up
slip off your shoes 
and feel the earth 
your ears will start to ring
and life will sing.

You've just got to swing past the 
forest 
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane 

You've got to slow down now
or you'll grow cold.
Leap past the flowers that sleep,
The hours that spring those old 
Shadows confuse you 
and the silence is loud 
your're reaching for the light
your're losing sight 

You've just got to swing past the
forest
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane

and go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up
