NYAFF screens wide selection of Korean films

The ninth edition of the New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) wrapped on Thursday, July 8, after presenting 45 films from across Asia including seven Korean features and a collection of eight Korean standout shorts from Seoul's 2009 Mise-en-Scéne Short Film Festival.

Of the seven Korean features screening at NYAFF, on the lighter side were Lee Jae-yong's Berlin-selected "Actresses" with the director in attendance, Kang Hyeong-cheol's comedy hit "Speedy Scandal", Lee Hae-joon's romantic-comedy "Castaway on the Moon" and Sin Jeong-won's hog-fueled comedy-thriller "Chaw".

On the more serious and edge-of-your-seat side were Lee Sang-woo-III's retelling of the tragic No Gun Ri massacre "A Little Pond", Lee Joon-ik's Chosun-set swashbuckler "Blades of Blood", and Jang Hoon's hit North-South spy thriller "Secret Reunion", starring top leads Song Kang-ho and KANG Don-won.
