Coming soon the 19th edition of the London Korean Film Festival (LKFF), which is organised by the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) & supported by the Korean Film Council, has announced its 2024 programme. The event will take place at BFI Southbank, Ciné Lumière, and Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) from 1st November to 13th November.
LKFF will feature two strands; Cinema Now and Women’s Voices, as well as a programme from the BFI Echoes in Time: Korean Films of the Golden Age and New Cinema, a special screening of Choi Dong-hoon’s “Alienoid: Return to the Future” and will feature Park Beom-su’s “Victory” as the Opening Gala Film and E.oni’s “Love in the Big City” as the Closing Gala film.
Cinema Now explores the cutting edge of Korean cinema, showcasing a diverse and eclectic range of genres and moods, all at the forefront of national cinema, curated by programmer Anton Bitel.
