It looks like the Korean Cultural service is running another season of free movie nights for NYC residents. Interestingly, it seems like they're kicking off a sports theme, in honor of the inaugural film, A Barefoot Dream, which will be serving as Korea's entry into the Oscars. Not a lot to add here, so I'll let the release do the talking:
The Korean Cultural Service's free screening series, Korean Movie Night, returns for its second year on Tuesday, January 11 with a free screening of Korea's submission to the Oscars, A Barefoot Dream (2010, 119 minutes, Us premiere) at the Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick Street, on the Corner of Varick and Canal).
Also attending the screening will be the movie's director, Kim Tae-Kyun
(Volcano High).
Director Kim is here to promote the film's submission to the Oscars and he
is available for interviews. Screeners of the film and artwork are also
available. Just reply to this email for details.
