NOBODY’S DAUGHTER HAEWON Will Screen in LA
The Seattle International Film Festival will be getting underway this Thursday (May 16th) for its three week run due to end on June 9th. This year, it has invited a quartet of Korean films to screen across various sections.
Following its premiere at Busan, African debut in Marrakech and European start at this year’s Berlinale,
LEE Don-ku’s searing debut
Fatal is set to have its North American premiere in Seattle. The film, which initially competed as part of the New Currents section in
Busan International Film Festival, has drawn strong notices for its frank depiction of the long-lasting effects of high school sex abuse. Further exploring taboos in Korean society is the gay romcom
Two Weddings and a Funeral, which alludes to the intolerance that still pervades in the country.
KIM Ki-duk’s
Pieta, following its Golden Lion win at the Venice International Film Festival, continues its enormous festival run while the fourth film on show this year is the co-produced North Korean film
Comrade Kim Goes Flying, which has also been a hit on the festival circuit.
