This evening I attended the Opening Night of the 2015 Korean Film Festival! Yahooo KOFFIA timeee!!
I always love this time of year, so many new films to fall in love with… And it’s particularly exciting when I fall for films I didn’t expect! I make sure to see as many as I can for just this reason (being reviewing media I guess helps with this, ha!) ^.^
This evening’s film was How To Steal A Dog, with it’s Director Sungho Kim in attendance! This was a really heartwarming film, lots of fuzzy feelings despite it being quite realistic and telling a somewhat sad tale.
In fact this year there are also two films on the line up that I have already seen and LOVED. If you can, really try and see either of these ones. Such incredible films and particularly The Admiral is best enjoyed on a big screen (seen that one twice actually). Here’s my reviews if you’re interested in a bit more of a synopsis!
