Festival to Hold Special Screening for Oldest Surviving Korean Film
Next month, the Berlin International Film Festival will stage a special presentation of Crossroads of Youth, the oldest surviving Korean film. The 1934 feature, directed by AHN Jong-hwa, becomes the tenth Korean work to be invited to the 63rd edition of the prestigious festival.
What makes this screening particularly special will the orchestra, singers and traditional byeonsa narration that will accompany it. Director KIM Tae-yong (Memento Mori, Late Autumn) has put together this modern rendition of the classic film. His production has already been screened around the world, including Seoul, London, New York and Guadalajara.
