The controversial film that has been causing all the recent trouble at the Busan film festival is getting a welcome screening in London. It’s the same night as the screening of Hong Sang-soo’s first movie around the corner at the KCC, but you can catch that on DVD another time. And the 16th happens to be the first anniversary of the tragedy, so you know it makes sense to support the Sewol screening.
Registration is required via Eventbrite.
