Over the past two decades, Korean cinema has established a special position in the hearts of global audiences – from popular films to award-winning works of art. The resounding success of Parasite in 2019 is just one of many examples of the systematic and sustainable development of Korean cinema.
DANAFF III chose Korea as its Spotlight program not only because of its outstanding achievements, but also because of the journey of overcoming difficulties, rising up and seizing opportunities that this cinema has gone through.
In the program, the audience will enjoy 13 representative films illustrating each stage of development of Korean cinema – from tradition, innovation to global integration.
This will be an opportunity for audiences, filmmakers and experts to look back, dialogue and contemplate – especially when comparing the similarities with Vietnamese cinema in the 1960s, to clearly see the remarkable resilience of Korea over the past few decades.
Let's look forward to the classic films of the land of Kim Chi that will be present in the Korean Cinema Spotlight program at the 3rd Da Nang Asian Film Festival - DANAFF III.
