The London Korean Film Festival (LKFF) will run 26 October – 19 November with multiple UK and International premieres, with a special focus on Korean Noir and including everything from Indie Firepower and Cinema Now to Women’s Voices, Classics Revisited: Bae Chang-ho Retrospective, Documentaries, Artist Video, Animations, Mise-en-scène Shorts and a roster of very special guests in attendance.
A special season dedicated to celebrating the diverse and exceptional work by the new generation of women screenwriter-directors who have emerged from the Japanese archipelago in the last fifteen years.
This programme will offer a glimpse into the distinctive voices of these women screenwriter-directors, whose work remains largely undiscovered outside their home country. Each with their particular style, these filmmakers have secured themselves a unique place in the Japanese film industry by occupying a narrative space that is neither mainstream nor fully arthouse, subverting genre boundaries, and rarely adhering to a solely women-centric vision.
