Following the success of last years ‘Cinema On The Park’ – with over a thousand people attending – The Korean Cultural Office in Sydney have announced a second season of screenings. There’s a stack of amazing films to see, with a total of twenty-one titles (see below) making up the programme for the first half of the year. Screenings take place every Thursday from 6.30pm at the Korean Cultural Office. All of the films have English subtitles and many of the screenings – fourteen of them! – will be accompanied by guest speakers.
Entry is free for these events, but booking is required – either online, by phone or in person.
