15 Korean films are being showcased this November at the 2nd annual London Korean Film Festival, screening at the Barbican in London's financial district. Opening the weeklong festival, which runs the 2nd to the 8th, is Kim Ki-duk's 2007 Cannes competition entry, "Breath". The film quickly sold-out as has the festival's curtain-closer, "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK", which won the Berlin Alfred Bauer prize this year for director Park Chan-wook.
Director PARK will present the closing film and lead a 'Screen-Talk' with the audience following the screening. Two films from PARK's famed vengeance trilogy, "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" (2006) and "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" (2002) will also be screened, forming a mini-retrospective of the director's work.
The event will spotlight the quality and diversity of Korean films, providing London audiences with an insight into contemporary Korean culture. In October, the UK Film Council and Korean Film Council(KOFIC) signed their first Co-Distribution Agreement, which provides print and marketing support to each other's film exports. The deal goes into effect this month.
