Programme



Tue 5 November, 9.10pm
Handsome Guys
Writer/director Nam Dong-hyub’s feature debut reimagines Eli Craig’s deconstructive redneck horror comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010), with Jae-pil and Sang-gu the sweet-natured hicks whom city folk keep prejudicially confusing with backwoods serial killers.



Fri 8 November, 6.30pm
House of the Seasons
Structured around both commemorative rites for departed ancestors and actual funerals that occasionally draw young, failing actor Kim Seong-jin (Kang Seung-ho) back from Seoul to his family home in rural Daegu, Oh Jung-min’s feature debut tracks multiple generations of the extended Kim family.



Sat 9 November, 8.30pm
Mimang
Shot over four years, Kim Tae-yang’s feature debut tracks an ever-transforming Seoul, with each of its three chapters dramatising a different meaning of the Korean word ‘mimang’.
