Some students of Korean studies, along with some local K-film fans, are organizing a Korean Film Festival to be held in Germany entitled The fifth Project K - The Korean Film Festival next week. They will be showing a total of 27 Korean films. First in the list and to formally open the film feast is "The World of Us" by Director Yoon Ga Eun. This film was invited by the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.
Other K-films to be included in the said Korean Film Festival to be held in Germany are "The Handmaiden" by Director Park Chan Wook, "Train to Busan" by Director Yeon Sang Ho, and "Inside Men" by Director Woo Min Ho. Korean box-office hits like "The Last Princess" and "Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet" are also included in the festival. Aside from them, some independent movies and animated films are also to be shown.
This Korean Film Festival to be held in Germany is said to last for five days. These films will be shown from October 26 to 30 at CineStar Metropolis, Frankfurt. Aside from showing these films, guests can also enjoy other activities like Korean calligraphy, traditional handmade paper and costumes. The committee even prepared a K-pop dance contest for guests to enjoy.
The director, as well as the lead actor, of the recently released crime-nor "Asura: The City of Madness" (Kim Sung Soo and Jung Wong Sung respectively), are even said to hold a fan meeting during the festival. This makes the Korean Film Festival to be held in Germany even more exciting.
This Korean Film Festival to be Held in Germany is made possible through the effort of the students of the University of Frankfurt who are undertaking Korean studies, along with other young Germans who are simply interested in Korean films and culture. This is a very good way to expand the fan base of Korean films and to introduce it to the rest of the world.
