An annual Korean film festival organized with the help of local fans of Korean movies will be held in Frankfurt, Germany next week.
Project K-The Korean Film Festival hosted by the South Korean Consulate in Frankfurt will run for five days beginning next Wednesday. Project K, consisting of University of Frankfurt students undertaking Korean studies and other young Germans interested in Korean culture, will cohost the festival.
Marking the fifth of its kind this year, the festival will screen 27 South Korean movies as well as introduce Korean music and fine arts.
The opening film of the festival is “The World of Us” directed by Yoon Ga-eun, while disaster movie “Tunnel” by Kim Seong-hun will close the event.
Five films, including “The Handmaiden” by Park Chan-wook, “Train to Busan” by Yeon Sang-ho and “Inside Men” by Woo Min-ho, will also be shown as “Must See” films.
Independent movies and animation films will also be screened throughout the festival.
Kim Sung-soo, the director of the recently released crime-noir “Asura: The City of Madness,” and its main actor Jung Woo-sung will hold a fan meeting at the festival next Friday.
