6th
Annual SYRACUSE KOREAN FILM FESTIVAL
Free Admission / English Subtitles
HBC Kittridge Auditorium
Korean Cine Forum, associated with the department of Transmedia/Film and Korean Student Association of
Syracuse University, would like to present the Syracuse Korean Film Festival
(SKFF). It is scheduled between April
16 ~ 18 and it will be held in the HBC
Kittredge Auditorium at
Syracuse
University
. The main
goal of the Syracuse Korean Film Festival is to introduce unique contemporary
Korean cinema to the
Syracuse
community,
thereby enhancing a cultural understanding among the SU and local ethnic
communities, and give people a chance to experience cultural differences
between the
Third World
cinema and
US/Hollywood cinema through the films. Selected films have received awards
from some prominent international film festivals and will be presented with
English subtitles. I am sure that it must be a great opportunity to
understand
Korea
through the films because they reflect Korean culture, society and history in
each of them. This event is not only intended for Korean audience but also
for people who are eager to enjoy the uniqueness of Korean cinema.

observational effort. They are unaware of the rich tapestry of details that
surrounds them, such as the subtle movement of a person's hand or foot that
might betray his thoughts or intentions." by
Joe Navarro

burst of intelligence, a bolt of lightning, or a mystical experience. ...With
what you have and where you are, you can begin the process of finding
productive, meaningful, and profitable work." by
