He organises a press cruise trip to Io to promote a hotel and discovers a mythical isle of dark folk significance and a matriarchal society of shamanistic fisherwomen. Though learning of the island's cursed men, the businessman is nonetheless drawn to the affairs with the women. Depicting Korean men’s anxiety towards their place in society, Iodopresents an ambivalent portrait of an alternate “feminine” universe, one appearing both regrettably lost yet terrifyingly primordial.To Note:- All film screenings are held at Oldham Theatre, National Archives of Singapore. - Tickets can be purchased at the Oldham Theatre Box Office.

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 hope to 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) Updates tag:peatix.com,2019-10-25 02:02:55 2019-10-25 02:02:55 The event description was updated.
