Korean Film Week 2020: A Century of Korean Women

The Korean Film Week will take place online this year. EARL invites everyone interested to join us in streaming 10 amazing films over the week between December 3rd and 6th!

Between tradition and modernity: The Korean Film Week 2020 deliberately focuses on the Korean woman and provides an insight into the life of “ordinary” Korean women in five selected feature films. In a cinematic foray through the last century, from Korea in the 1920s to the present day, the program focuses on the change of gender roles of women and the external and internal conflicts associated with it.

The film program introduces this change from tradition to modernity and takes the viewer into a time “in-between”. A time of rapid industrialization and urbanization of the country – a time of radical changes in the lives of women.

Notice: Due to COVID, the entire event will take place online, via the VOD platform Shift72 on the website www.koreanfilmweek.net. Streaming the movies will be free of charge, but only accessible for viewers in Austria and Slovenia.

Each movie will be available as VOD on www.koreanfilmweek.net on two specific days between 4 PM and 11 PM CET. To watch the movies, a quick registration on the website is necessary.
