Recap of movies of the 11th Korean Film Festival
Film Program
The heart of our film festival were a total of 21 feature films and animation films, which, like last year, were made provided by the Korean Independent Animation Filmmakers Association (KIAFA). The selected animated films also reflected our special focus ‘Mental Health’. As the opening film, we were able to offer the viewers a special highlight: The long-awaited blockbuster Hunt. The movie was the directorial debut of LEE Jung-jae, who became known worldwide for his leading role in Squid Game. It was a special honor to welcome numerous guests on the opening night, including the Consul General of the Republic of Korea, Kyungsok Koh, and the Managing Director of the Kulturfonds, Karin Wolff. Unfortunately, the patrons Angela Dorn and Dr. Ina Hartwig could not attend due to tight scheduling, but both supported the film festival with a greeting in the program booklet.
We are pleased to inform you that many of the screenings were sold out beyond our opening film. The most popular films at the festival included The Roundup (LEE Sang-yong), Alienoid (CHOI Dong-hoon), Hansan (KIM Han-min) and The Killer: A Girl Who Deserves to Die (CHOI Jae-hoon), that were all enthusiastically received by our visitors. It is also particularly important to the Festival to support young filmmakers. For this reason, we were especially happy to present the graduation film Hazi – A long wrong day by film student CHAE Ji-hye (Dortmund University of Applied Sciences) as a double feature with our last festival film, the award-winning The Novelist’s Film by HONG Sang-soo.
