June 20-22: Korean Film Festival in Prague

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Czech Republic will host the 2024 Korean Film Festival in Prague from 20 to 22 June at the Světozor cinema.

The festival, sponsored by the Korean Film Council, will screen four Korean films recently released in South Korea, including Dog Days (2024), The Book of Fish (2021), Alienoid (2022) and Alienoid: Return to the Future (2024).

Korean films, with their diverse genres and stories, have won awards at many international film festivals and are attracting audiences around the world. In the Czech Republic, the release of Parasite in 2019 has been an encouraging success.

In addition, various Korean films are constantly introduced through the Asean+3 Film Festival, Filmasia or the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

At the 2024 Korean Film Festival in Prague, four Korean films will be screened over three days. With genres ranging from family dramas to science fiction and art films, the festival aims to showcase a variety of Korean films to appeal to Korean culture fans as well as general moviegoers.

Park Hyunsung, Cultural Attaché at the Korean Embassy, said of the festival:

“We wanted to organize a Korean film screening event, which has been held every year on a small scale, as an independent festival, and introduce Korean films that are rarely seen compared to other European or Hollywood films. We hope that Czech audiences will discover the beauty and diversity of Korean cinema through these films, and that the festival will serve as a platform for more active and diverse film industry exchanges between Korea and the Czech Republic in the future. ”

The festival film screenings are free of charge. Audiences wishing to attend can reserve tickets in advance at Světozor cinema website.
