15.01.2022 #15. Birthday The heart-wrenching story of those left behind after the Sewol tragedy of April 2014 The Sewol tragedy of 2014 took the lives of 500 school children, one of these children was Su-ho. Three years on, Su-hos mother Soon-nam has struggled to get past her crushing grief, even though she has a young daughter, Ye-sol, to care for. Shes also struggling financially, having spent most of her money paying for lawyers to defend her husband,... Jung-il, off in Vietnam, in a corporate negligence case. When Jung-il returns to Korea, his presence is less of a comfort to Soon-nam as it is a bitter reminder that Su-ho is gone and that Jung-il was not there to support her in her darkest hours. To make matters worse, as the anniversary of the disaster approaches along with Su-hos birthday, Jung-il wants to memorialize his son along with a local support group, something Soon-nam is absolutely not open to.. *Director: Lee Jong-un *Cast: Sul Kyung-gu, Jeon Do-yeon, Kim Bo-min *Genre: Drama Screening MEL: THUR 12 SEP 5:45PM Tickets on sale from 15 AUG via www.koffia.com.au

14.01.2022 #16. MALMOE: The Secret Mission Closing Night Film for the KOFFIA Melbourne MalMoE has heart, comedy, great characters and a beautiful story Yoon Min Sik, The Korea Herald... During World War II in the year 1940, a time where the Korean peninsula is still colonized by the Japanese, the Korean language is at a risk of being forgotten. To dim the national identity, all teachings of the Korean language is banned until ultimately, even its use is banned. A handful of scholars, including Ryu Jeong-hwan, attempt to keep the language alive. In his quest, he comes across Kim Pan-su, an illiterate man who works at the Korean Language Society running errands. Pan-su sees the dedication and passion of the scholars in writing over 16,000 manuscripts to be used in publishing the MalMoE dictionary. This does not prove easy under the Japanese authorities as the investigation closes in on them. *Director: Eom Yuna *Cast: Yoo Hae-jin, Yoon Kye-sang, Kim Hong-pa *Genre: Drama Screening MEL: THUR 12 SEP 8:00PM Tickets on sale from 15 AUG via www.koffia.com.au
