Celebrating Kim Tae-yong at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival

The 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN) will captivate audiences with its special exhibition, "Kim Tae-yong, Temperature of Perspective." This event celebrates the famous director Kim Tae-yong and presents his distinctive emotional narratives. Attendees will enjoy a blend of film and literature that highlights his artistic vision.

Visitors can experience a variety of films by Kim Tae-yong, including both short films and feature-length movies. Notable works include "The Tale of Nokdu" (2019) and "Her Legend" (2015). These films are now available as picture books published by Alma Publishing. "The Tale of Nokdu" reflects Korean aesthetics and explores the theme of death.

A highlight of the exhibition will be the "Mega Talk" session. This discussion features Kim Tae-yong, illustrators of the picture books, and actress Kim Soo-an. They will explore the creative process behind these works and their significance in film and literature.

For those who purchase the picture books, a special signing session will be held. Attendees can also participate in a prize event, adding an interactive element to the experience. The Mega Talk is scheduled for 2:30 PM on the 5th of next month at the Bucheon Art Center. Free reservations are available.
