They oscillate between the virtuous and the vampish, the pitiful and the horrific, the subjugated and the fiercely independent.Featuring historically important early classics, popular genre films and critically acclaimed works by iconic male and female Korean directors, the programme’s 24 female character-driven films offer a retrospective view on female representation in Korean cinema, and open up new perspectives through the restoration of their faces within the cinematic imaginary.Supported by the Korean Film Archive (KOFA)
