All events are free admission, first come, first served. All screenings take place at Asia Society, 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street, New York City. For information on the series, visit our website at Like us on FaceBook: /KoreanMovieNY. The series is co-presented by Korean Cultural Service NY and Asia Society. Korean Movie Night New York is an ongoing, approximately twice-a-month film program that introduces the full spectrum of contemporary and classic Korean cinema to New York audiences, from popular blockbusters, independent films, and documentaries to animation and family movies. Youthful dreams give way to adult reality in The King of Jokgu and 10 Minutes life-altering experiences threaten to spin out of control in Fatal and Alive and a childhood bond is tested as two friends grow apart in Gangnam Blues. The films in this series follow a coming of age theme. Known as a TV drama ( City Hunter, The Heirs) heartthrob, Lee transitioned to the big screen with great fanfare in this action thriller by veteran director Yoo Ha. The series also includes Gangnam Blues (Yoo Ha), which features the young and hugely popular actor Lee Min-ho in his feature film debut. Director Park Jung-bum doubles as the acting lead in Alive to impressive result.
Four films in this series, The King of Jokgu (Woo Moon-gi), 10 Minutes (Lee Yong-seung), Fatal (Lee Don-ku), and Alive (Park Jung-bum), are independently financed projects. While mainstream, big-budget films have dominated the Korean film market, young directors are finding room to make independent films that prove to be no less creative and inspiring despite fewer resources. The series of 5 films celebrates emerging filmmakers and actors in contemporary Korean cinema and will run from April 14 to at the Asia Society. Korean Cultural Service NY and Asia Society are proud to announce Korean Movie Night New York’s April-May 2015 series: Emerging Talent.
