🎉 Korean Cultural Centre UK is thrilled to announce the 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚 film for LKFF!

Join us on 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝟔 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, 𝐚𝐭 𝟏𝟖:𝟒𝟓 in BFI Southbank NFT1 for a special screening of 𝙑𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮, followed by a Q&A with director 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐨𝐦-𝐬𝐮.

𝙑𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮

In 1999, two rebellious teenagers start a cheerleading squad for their provincial high school, bringing confidence and solidarity to themselves, their misfit troupe and an entire community afflicted by narrow horizons and labour disputes.
Like Lukas Moodysson’s We Are the Best! (2013), Park Beom-su’s joyously punkish and irreverently funny crowd-pleaser has infectious charm, winning wit and girl-power exuberance to spare.

Directed by 𝑲𝒊𝒎 𝑨𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈
25 min 12 sec | 2022 | Korea | colour

Foregrounding the importance of world-building in Kim Ayoung’s practice, this video work depicts female delivery rider Ernst Mo (an anagram of ‘monster’) working for the delivery platform Delivery Dancer, which is administered by a master algorithm called Dancemaster. The work not only examines the gig economy and platform labour (which became immensely popular in Korea during the pandemic) but also topological labyrinths, possible worlds, hypervigilance, and the accelerationist urge to optimise body, time and space. It also hints at a q***r relationship with En Storm (another anagram of ‘monster’), Ernst Mo’s counterpart from another possible world. 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘹 𝘈𝘳𝘴 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢 2023

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝙑𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 (𝐔𝐊 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞!)

Park Soo-nam, a second-generation Zainichi director, discovered that she was losing her sight just as she set out to digitally restore her 16 mm films with the assistance of her daughter, director Park Maeui. The footage, shot over fifty years, is indelibly marked with the blood, tears, and countless corpses of Zainichi Koreans. It isn’t just the voices of forced labourers, atomic bomb survivors, and “comfort women” that are resurrected from the deteriorating, 100,000-feet-long film reels—it is also the voice of Park Soo-nam herself, fearlessly fighting alongside a Korean boy on death row, storming out during the first-day-of-school ceremony to protest the singing of the Japanese national anthem, singing “Garden Balsam” at a massacre site, and attempting to find a hopeful future from the 100-year history of Koreans in Japan. 𝙑𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 is an archive of Zainichi Koreans’ resistance and struggle and a remarkable autobiography of a woman who knows no defeat.
