In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the 2009 Korean Film Festival ran Oct 30 to Nov 4 at the GSC Mid Valley's International Screens venue. The six-day festival brings together four diverse titles: family drama "My Mother, the Mermaid" (2004), critically praised independent drama, "Sa-Kwa" (2008), suspense-driven thriller "Seven Days" (2007) and comedy "Our School E.T" (2008).
The festival, co-sponsored by the Republic of Korea Embassy, will make an allotment of free tickets available to the public. Kang Yi-kwan's "Sa-Kwa" stars actress Moon So-ri as a career-woman in a troubled marriage. "Seven Days", by director Won Sin-yeon, tells the story of Ji-yeon, a successful lawyer and single mother to a seven-year-old girl who has been kidnapped.
