This year's New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) features a spate of prominent Korean films and runs from June 22nd to July 8th. Now in its 6th year, the festival selects 30 top Asian films to screen along with three programs of award winning shorts taken from Korea's very own Mise-en-Scene's Genre Film Festival (MGFF).
A total of nine Korean features will be showcased during the two-week event, including Lee Jae-yong's high school cult-comedy "Dasepo Naughty Girls" ("Dasepo Girl"), with the director present at the screening. Han Jae-rim will also attend for the screening of his sophomore effort "The Show Must Go on" starring Song Kang-ho.
NYAFF, which is presented by Dragon Dynasty and Subway Cinema, will screen at the IFC Center and the Japan Society. The MGFF shorts program was sponsored by the Korean Cultural Service NY. The NYAFF website can be found at Open the link
