The full program for the 2012 Korean Film Festival In Australia (KOFFIA) has just been unveiled. This year's streams include Panorama, Modern Classics, K-Mystery, K-Comedy, Documentary, Animation and Short Films. The line-up is undoubtedly the best since the Festival started in 2010, and fans of Korean cinema will certainly be delighted with the chance to see the latest Korean blockbusters and hits such as War of the Arrows, Sunny and The Frontline, as well as thrilled by the opportunity to revisit some of the modern classics like Oldboy, Christmas in August and Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring, all on the big screen!
Here's what the organizers said about the program:
Panorama
Our Panorama section showcases the latest release films from Korea that have either been commercially successful or critically acclaimed. Presenting a mixture of films from prominent auteur film-makers to first time directors, this year's Panorama is a representation of the current state of the Korean film industry.
We are proud to present 4 Australian and 3 Sydney premieres covering the 7 feature films in the Panorama section, which includes our opening and closing films for the festival. From the Top 2 films of the 2011 Korean box office, WAR OF THE ARROWS and SUNNY, to the competition films straight from this year's Cannes Film Festival, IN ANOTHER COUNTRY and THE TASTE OF MONEY.
The line-up also includes Korea's official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Academy Awards, THE FRONTLINE, a black and white tale from Hong Sang-soo, THE DAY HE ARRIVES, and the indie senior citizen romance that swept the nation off their feet, LATE BLOSSOM. We aim to continue developing our Panorama section each year, as we take you on a journey straight to the heart of Seoul.
We encourage all Korean cinephiles alike to sample the films in this section, as it will build your connection to and enhance your understanding of modern Korean film-making and culture.
