A three-day ‘Korean Film Festival-2022’ will begin on November 2 at the National Museum of Bangladesh.

The film festival will open at 5pm with State Minister of Cultural Affairs KM Khalid as the chief guest.

South Korean Ambassador to Bangladesh Lee Jang-keun will deliver opening remarks.

Prior to the film screening, there will be a short K-pop performance by talented young Bangladeshi students. The film festival is free and open to all.

This year’s festival will feature five movies starting from “Escape from Mogadishu” on Wednesday evening.

This film is based on a real event in the early 1990s in Somalia when South and North Korean embassy staff and their families made a joint perilous escape from the war-torn city.

Other movies include various genres of comedy, romance, action, history, and animation. “The Dude in Me” to be screened on November 3 is a romantic comedy, a story of a weak high school student who has been bullied by a mighty gangster and found their bodies accidentally exchanged.

Another movie on Thursday, “The Battle of Gangsari” is a story of the Korean War in September 1950 during the Incheon Landing Operation by General MacArthur.

Without real military forces to spare 772 very young Korean student soldiers, barely trained, are sent to Jangsari Beach, where they face a heroic fate and discover the value of friendship.

On Friday morning, “Underdog” is an animation depicting the story of a deserted dog who finds shelter with other deserted dogs in a slum being fed by a foreign worker.

The last film to be screened on Friday afternoon, on November 4, is “The Age of Shadows” which is set in the late 1920s during the Japanese colonial rule over Korea.

This movie follows the cat-and-mouse game that unfolds between a group of Korean resistance fighters trying to bring explosives from Shanghai to destroy key Japanese facilities in Seoul and Japanese agents trying to stop them.
