Cinema Reborn presents: The Films of Im Kwon-taek
KOREAN SHOWCASE: THE FILMS OF IM KWON-TAEK
Cinema Reborn festival screenings of Sopyonje (1993) kick off a short follow-up season showcasing some of Im Kwon-taek's other key films, Jagko Mismatched Nose (1980), Ticket (1986) and Festival (1996).
Korean director Im Kwon-taek (b. 1936) made over 100 features in a career made resonant with local box office hits, yet he still broke through local censorship taboos, gained break-out international film festival invitations and received Western critical attention for Korean cinema, inspiring South Korea’s current generation of international arthouse filmmaking superstars.
Season presented with the support of the Australia-Korea Foundation. Co-presented with the Korean Film Archive (KOFA). Supported by the Korean Cultural Centre Sydney.
