Korean Cultural Center New York is proud to co-present Korean Film screening at the New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) and especially excited this year as we celebrate 140 years of friendship and cultural exchange between Korea and the United States.
NYAFF remains fully committed to increasing exposure of Asian representation on screen and providing opportunities for audiences of all communities to experience the diversity and brilliance of Asian and Asian American cinema. The 20th anniversary lineup will include world, international, North American, U.S., and New York premieres, showcasing the most exhilarating action, comedy, drama, thriller, romance, horror, and art-house films.
This year with a full return to big-screen viewing, NYAFF will feature14 extraordinary South Korean films and bring its largest number of guest filmmakers ever.
As bold and vibrant as ever, the festival will showcase, among many others, Confession from Yoon Jong-seok, Stellar: A Magical Ride from Kwon Soo-kyung; The Killer and The Swordsman from Choi Jae-hun; Hot Blood from Cheon Myeong-kwan; I Haven’t Done Anything from Park Sang-min; Nothing Serious from Jeong Ga-young; and comedic thriller Next Door from Yeom Ji-ho; and the illuminating LGBTQ documentary I Am More by Lee Il-ha, and special screening of The Thieves from Choi Dong-hoon.
Korea is truly center stage this year with star Ryu Seung-ryong receiving the inaugural Best from the East Award, a distinction to honor a singularly outstanding performance in a film Perhaps Love.
South Korean actor and newly minted action-genre star Jang Hyuk will receive NYAFF’s 2022 Daniel A. Craft Award for Excellence in Action Cinema for his dazzling stunt work, emotional depth, and undeniable charisma in two electrifying films by director Choi Jae-hun, The Killer.
NYAFF has also announced that one of the winners of the 2022 Screen International Rising Star Asia Awards is Korean actress Hye-yoon Kim (Snowdrop, Sky Castle), the titular rebellious hellion of Park Ri-woong’s The Girl on a Bulldozer.
The NYAFF 2022 Centerpiece and Closing Film will screened both Korean films. Centerpiece film is Kim Han-min’s period action-war epic Hansan: Rising Dragon, and the Closing Film, co-presented with Asia Society, will be the much-anticipated time-travel sci-fi epic Alienoid, from blockbuster Korean director Choi Dong-hoon, who will introduce the North American premiere of his latest production.
