Where South Korean cinema has boomed over the past two decades, making a big impression on audiences worldwide, some subjects are still significantly under-represented within it. Despite some superb efforts – A Distant Place and A Girl At My Door spring to mind – there is very little queer Korean cinema, and this reflects a tendency toward cultural and social neglect of LGBTQ+ communities in the country more generally. Given this, it’s fascinating to get a cinematic glimpse into the history of one of those communities courtesy of director Kwon Aram, whose documentary served as the closing gala of the 2023 Queer East film festival in London.
The subject is South Korea’s lesbian community and its development in the 1990s. To put it in perspective, one must understand that this was a period more equivalent to the 1950s in the West, as far as social awareness was concerned. Many...

Next Sohee Photo: courtesy of Fantasia International Film Festival
Just the second feature by South Korea’s July Jung, Next Sohee won her the Best Director award at this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival and came second in the Audience Awards vote for Best Asian Film. The closing film of the festival, it’s a blistering exploration of the exploitation of school children through work experience programmes, presented as a drama in two parts. Having very much admired Jung’s previous film, A Girl At My Door, I was delighted to get the chance to speak to her at the festival and ask her a few questions about it.
Since seeing the film, I have spoken to people in several countries who have told me that the same kind of exploitation happens where they are, so I ask her how she first came across the issue.

July Jung made one of the best recent debuts of recent times in Korean cinema back in 2014 with her “A Girl at My Door”, a gritty and superbly acted social drama which screened in the Un Certain Regard category at Cannes Film Festival. It went on to receive much critical acclaim and multiple awards at film festivals, with both the director and lead actress Bae Doona receiving praise and accolades for their work. Jung instantly became a director to watch out for but little did we know that it would take eight years before she would step behind the camera again for “Next Sohee”, which closed the International Critics’ Week at Cannes this year.

July Jung’s first feature movie revolves around Young-Nam (Bae Doo-na), a policewoman, who is temporally transferred from Seoul to the police station of a small seaside village, habitable mostly by elderly citizens. As soon as she arrives, she confronts schoolgirl Do-hee (Kim Sae-ron), who not only is bullied by her classmates but also she is a victim of abuse by her alcoholic stepfather Yong-ha (Song Sae-byeok). One night, Do-hee runs to Young-nam’s door, searching for protection from her abusive stepfather. Young-Nam, feeling sympathy for the young girl, takes her under her protection until the new school year, despite the demands of Do-hee’s stepfather to return home. Things get complicated when Yong-ha sees Young-Nam kissing her ex-girlfriend and he uses her homosexuality against her.

What started as the Korean New Wave in the late 90s really flourished in the 2000s. The 2010s, however, is where we saw what we can call the “new” golden age for Korean cinema, where several new-name directors made their mark, established filmmakers cemented their names in world cinema, actors became stars, blockbuster cinema raked in big money and independent cinema also thrived. Thanks to the success of films like “The Handmaiden” and “Train to Busan” on a global level, a new audience started having a much keener interest in films from the country, while the unprecedented, historic success of “Parasite” at the end only went on to bookend the truly spectacular decade that the 2010s was for South Korean cinema.
In an effort to winnow some of the best Korean movies of the decade (2011-2020), we came up with 40 we felt were the ones that truly stand out in terms of quality,...

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.

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...

Korean Film Nights continue with a second season for 2019 “Love Without Boundaries” – a programme of titles exploring Korean cinema’s bold exploration of romantic relationships existing on society’s margins. From the 4th of July to the 8th of August.
This season is programmed in collaboration with the Birkbeck Film Programming and Curating Ma course.
Love, in its many guises, has always been a central concern in cinema. From the long-established vision presented in Hollywood studio pictures to the local dialect of any national cinema, romance has always had a place on film. Outside of cinema’s mainstream however, many exemplary filmmakers have long strove to represent a range of transgressive love stories in their work, bucking the idealised view codified in typical cinema fare. Delving deep into the key works from Korean cinema that have pushed against socially-accepted views of love and relationships, our season seeks to offer a...
