Screening

For the first time in New York, a presentation of documentary films from Korea addressing issues rarely seen by American audiences.  Films on LGBTQ and workers' struggles, a feminist fashion designer and the tragedy of state violence against citizens over gentrification, these films represent the range of struggles that Koreans have been facing and give some insight into a society that is currently wrestling with a presidential impeachment, bribery scandals, neoliberal labor policies, turmoil over U.S.military actions and a still-tense situation with the northern half of the peninsula. Many of the films presented are from PINKS: Solidarity for Sexually Minor Cultures and Human Rights!, an activist collective in Korea. For the full schedule and description of the films, click here.
