Luncheon Roundtable with Tribeca Film Festival 2010 Korean Directors
2010_04_27_korean_film_web_iconCritics in Korea have praised directors Park Chan-ok (Paju), Lee Yong-ju (Possessed), and Ounie Lecomte (Brand New Life) for films that venture into that rarely explored space between mainstream appeal and art-house rave. Now these up-and-coming directors are finding new, global audiences through screenings on the international circuit and at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. In celebration of this prestigious showcase of Korean film, we invite our members and film fans to meet the directors at a special roundtable discussion.

About the Speakers
Park Chan-ok won International Film Festival Rotterdam's 2003 Tiger Award and the Pusan Film Festival's New Current Award for her critically acclaimed debut Jealousy is My Middle Name. In 2010 her highly anticipated second feature, Paju, became the first-ever South Korean work selected as the opening film for International Film Festival Rotterdam. Park's work offers subtle but tense portraits of anti-heroes confronting society.

Lee Yong-ju made his directorial debut with the 2009 horror film Possessed, which employed familiar genre imagery in chilling new ways in order to explore fanatical religion and superstition. Lee honed his craft as an assistant director on Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder.

Ounie Lecomte debuted as a director with the 2009 film A Brand New Life, based on her experiences in a Korean orphanage in the mid-1970s. A Brand New Life received awards at the 2010 Tokyo, Palm Springs and Berlin International Film Festivals.
