The Korea Research Center of Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University of Japan will hold the 4th Korean Film Festival on October 23-25. This year, the festival is dedicated to Korean actress Kim Hye-su, who is considered a symbol of independent women.
The festival is aimed at shedding light on Korean cinematography, history and culture through movies that star a certain actor or actress. Launched in 2006, the festival has so far screened movies starring Moon So-ri, Choi Min-shik and Ahn Sung-ki.
This year, six films starring Kim Hye-su will be screened. They are "Kick The Moon," "YMCA Baseball Team," "Hypnotized," "A Good Day To Have An Affair," "The War Of Flower" and "Modern Boy." The festival will also feature a symposium of Korean and Japanese film experts.
Kim Hye-su will meet with the audience to talk about her life and acting career.
An official from the festival's organizing committee said that Korean movies were not only high-quality entertainment content but that they also fully represented changes in Korean society. He also added that movies starring Kim Hye-su would hopefully help Japanese viewers better understand Korean films.
