Philadelphia's film goers will have a feast of Korean cinema to choose from when the 13th Philadelphia Film Festival opens on April 8.
South Korea is well represented with 11 features out of the 133 to be screened, including a special category called New Korean Cinema. The category's six films include kwak Jae-Yong's "The Classic" and Boong Joon-ho's "Salin-ui Chuok (Memories of Murder)".
Last year's run of local horror movies saw four South Korean films make it into the festival's Danger After Dark category, including "Changhwa, Hongryon (A Tale of Two Sisters)", by Kim Ji-wun and "Sainyong Siktak (The Uninvited)" by Lee Soo-yeon.
Rounding out the Korean lineup, "Yongo Wanjon Jongbok (Please Teach Me English)" by Kim Sung-su will screen in the International Comedy section.
