The 10th anniversary of the London Korean Film Festival (LKFF) is soon, and the full line-up of 52 films is finally announced…
After our brief coverage of the handful of films announced by the LKFF last week, the full line-up of 52 films is now online. The London Korean Film Festival takes place from the 2nd – 14th November.
“From Classics to Blockbusters” is the tagline for the 10th anniversary, and it contains a plethora of UK Premieres, retrospective films and the newly introduced Emerging Directors and Documentary strands. Works include those of Bong Joon-ho and JK Youn, whilst up and coming directors and renowned Korean actors bring something for all audiences. The final number is also confirmed (last week we were told 51, before we heard 50, but now it’s 52). It’s great to see so many wonderful films on the list, lots we’ve already seen at other festivals (click the links for our reviews), and others we can’t wait to see!
