FIRST LOOK hosted by MoMI (Museum of Moving Image) selects the most inventive, groundbreaking, new international cinema from all over the world from newcomers. The Korea Society proudly co-presents Sleepless Night as part of FIRST LOOK.
Sleepless Night swept both the Grand Prize and Audiences Award at the Jeonju International Film Festival 2012, and made the director Jang Kun-jae one of the most spotlighted emerging filmmakers in Korea. In it, a young married couple faces the decision to start a family and the conflict between keeping their own lifestyle and becoming parents. Jang’s previous and debut film, Eighteen, was selected for “Yeonghwa: Korean Film Today 2010” at MoMA.
LIVE HOUSE KOREA is made possible with the support of the New York State Council on the Arts.
