Cinema is often said to give voice to the voiceless. Debutant director Kim Jin-yu attempts to do just that with his feature film “Bori”, which won the Dkg Award (an award it shared with “Sub-Zero Wind”) at Busan International Film Festival when it screened there in 2018.
“Bori” is screening at London Korean Film Festival
Bori lives with her parents and little brother, the only person who can speak and hear in an otherwise deaf and mute family. The family is seemingly happy and well-loved in the community, particularly little Bori, who acts as the voice of the family. Bori, however, feels that, as the odd one out, she is slightly less loved by her parents than her brother and feels neglected. Every day, on her way to school, along with her best friend Eun-jeong, Bori makes but one wish at the temple: to be audibly impaired just like her family.

Films like “Parasite” or “Train to Busan” may send ripples all over the international movie world, but Korean cinema is not just filled with expensive studio productions and blockbusters. On the contrary, the independent film industry is equally rich and also features a number of great movies, which unfortunately, do not reach so many people outside of the festival circuit. This list has exactly this purpose, of highlighting a number of titles that may not feature big budgets, but boast original stories, unique cinematic approaches, and muchartistry. Furthermore, in an initiative that started from Busan and Jeonju festival, a number of films of female directors were nurtured and promoted, in an effort to create titles that stray away from the male-dominated standards and stories that permeate the Korean film industry. Films like the “House of Hummingbird” and “A Bedsore” were the outcome of this effort and are also included in this list.

Family dynamics are explored inside out in “The House of Us”, the sophomore work from South Korean director / writer Yoon Ga-eun and one of the most anticipated movies of the year, after the success of her delicate short film “Sprout”, Crystal Bear in Berlin in 2014, and her charming 2016 feature debut “The World of Us”. “The House of Us” has the honour of being the first movie of the 2020 online edition of the Udine Far East Film Festival.
“The House of Us” is screening at Udine Far East Film Festival 2020
Like the previous work, “The House of Us” opens on an extreme close up of a girl’s face. Hana (Kim Na-Yeon) is 11-year old, at home, witnessing a violent brawl – one of many – between her parents. Oodles of subtle expressions animate her face; surprise, worry, helplessness and then disappointment, sadness and great fear. Hana understands more than well what is going on,...

Thessaloniki Cinematheque invites you to discover the exciting world of modern Asian cinema this week, through the tribute “A complicated origami: The concept of family in modern Asian cinema”, which will take place Sunday 23 to Wednesday 26 February 2020, at the favorite cinefil location, Stavros Tornes screening room.
The tribute includes four movies that revolve around the concept of family, with three of them being presented in Greece for the first time.
Norwegian Wood (2010) by Ahn Hung Tranh
The film could be described as abstract to the point of ambiguity, the same does not apply to the visual, where Mark Lee presents another excellent work, creating a dramatically beautiful setting where the lives of the protagonists unfold. From the Tokyo of the 60s with the student movements (and a subtle but very derogatory comment), to the bucolic beauty of Kyoto and the tragic symbolism of the sea, all of Lee’s frames...

Kofic’s annual report reveals that South Korea’s top ten releases in 2019 accounted for 46.2% of total box office.
South Korea’s box office hit an all-time high last year, but also recorded increased polarisation, with Disney titles and big-budget local films drawing a greater proportion of screens and audiences, according to a report from the Korean Film Council (Kofic).
Last year, total admissions increased by 4.8% to an all-time high of 226.68 million tickets sold, amounting to $1.61bn in box office revenues – similar to the previous year’s take of $1.62bn – but in local currency terms, due to fluctuating exchange rates,...

Director Yoon Ga-eun took the indie film world by storm with her debut feature film “The World of Us“. Featuring tremendous acting from young actors, the film was lauded by critics and audience alike. She now aims to follow up on the success of her debut with her second film “The House of Us”.
Synopsis
“What’s wrong with my house?”
12 year-old Ha-na is worried about her parents fighting all the time, and Yoo-mi and Yoo-jin hate that they move all the time. One summer holiday they become friends and share a bond. The three of them talk about their families and decide to take a risk to protect their more than precious homes.
“I am going to protect my house and yours, too!”
The highlight of “The World of Us” was the performance that Yoon Ga-eun had gotten out of her child actors and she once again works with children in this one.

After five short movies, Yoon Ga-Eun presents her first feature, “The World of Us”. The filmmaker is currently in post-production for her second feature: “The House of Us”.
The film immerses us in the life of Sun, a 10-years old girl. She lives with her little brother. She goes to elementary school, and, despite trying to make friends, she is not really accepted by her classmates. As summer vacation starts, she meets Ji-Ah, who recently moved into town. They quickly bond. But school starts over and peer pressure makes things more complicated. The two girls’ friendship is disrupted.
Summarizing the movie as an amazing exploration of childhood would be unfair. Indeed, “The World of Us” not only brilliantly tackles youth, but it actually shows human beings, relationships and group dynamic in a delicate, true and authentic -as much as fiction can be- way.
Perhaps one of the reasons childhood is...

Now in its 11th year, Korean Film Nights open for 2019 with ‘Home Truths’ – a season exploring how Korean domestic spaces on screen reflect cultural and societal change.
Their six-part programme traces the often-fraught relationship that exists between interior and exterior life across 50 years of Korean history. This chosen focus, though conceptually abstract, is a motif visible throughout Korean cinema that not only offers insight into a number of Korean social conventions, but has also provided many filmmakers with creative opportunities to undermine them.
Each of these six titles welcome us across the threshold into private spaces. Behind these closed doors, we witness how characters interact outside of the gaze and earshot of public scrutiny, and once sustaining customary social pretenses is no longer such a necessity. This exclusive access invites audiences to reconsider a number of historic Korean traditions on a much more human level: how do gender roles function in domestic space?...

South Korea’s top filmmaker, Bong Joon-ho has begun shooting “Parasite,” his first film since “Okja” which was backed by Netflix and debuted in competition last year in Cannes. It stars Song Kang-ho, Korea’s leading character actor.
The film is a drama about a family of four, in which each member has unique characteristics. Bong says that, despite the title, the film does not include either parasites or alien creatures.
Production started on Sunday. “The film had been originally scheduled to start shooting in our studio on May 25, but was pushed back slightly,” a spokesperson from Goyang Aqua Studio, an outfit that specializes in underwater shooting, told Variety on Wednesday.
After shooting “Snowpiercer” and “Okja” largely in English, the film is Bong’s first Korean-language title since his 2009 “Mother.” He has reassembled production elements from “Mother.” Barunson E&A is on board as producer. Cj Entertainment is set as the Korean distributor.
