K- ZOMBIES THAT TAKE OVER NEW YORK SCREENS AND A HEAVY SENSE OF THE TIMES: 25th New York Asian Film Festival Special Program on Korean Films

The unstoppable rush of K-movies cuts straight through the heart of New York. The New York Korean Cultural Center, in partnership with Film at Lincoln Center and others, will stage an unprecedented showing of 'The 25th New York Asian Film Festival: Special Program on Korean Films' from Oct. 10 through Oct. 26 (local time).

K-Zombies That Take Over New York Screens and a Heavy Sense of the Times

The top most-anticipated title in this special program is without a doubt 'Gunchae', a new zombie film that pairs director 'Yeon Sang-ho' with actor 'Jeon Ji-hyun'. With the twin stars’ joint appearance confirmed, local film insiders are paying close attention. Among the 23-film lineup presented across five theaters around New York, the program also includes thought-provoking buzz titles such as 'Hanmyeong-mi' director 'Hanran' and 'My Name Is' directed by 'Jung Ji-young'. Discussions with the directors that follow immediately after each screening are expected to offer a dense, high-impact forum to prove the philosophical depth of K-content to the world.
