The 7th annual London Korean Film Festival (LKFF) returns 1 - 16 November 2012 showcasing the very best Korean films, UK premieres and events with a diverse programme this year to build on the recent successes of Korea Shines Bright (100 days of Korean cultural events), and the fact that Korea ranked 5th place during the Olympics. Ranging from gritty mystery thrillers to comedies and family animation films, and from art house gems to period dramas and sports films, the festival takes place in London (1 – 10th Nov) at the Odeon West End and ICA cinemas, and is on tour nationally (from 11 – 16th Nov) at the Glasgow Grosvenor Cinema, Bristol Cube and the Bournemouth Odeon.
The opening night Gala 1 Nov (Odeon West End), kicks off with the European premiere of the Korean box office heist smash hit, The Thieves with director Choi Dong-hoon, lead actor Kim Yoonsuk (who starred in the cult hit,The Yellow Sea) and actress Kim Hye-su (known for Tazza: The High Rollers and The Red Shoes) Q&A’s, and followed by a gala reception. The festival closes with another box office hit, the European premiere of historical drama Masquerade 16 Nov (Odeon West End), followed by a Q&A with Director Choo Chang-min and lead actor Lee Byunghun (star ofI Saw The Devil),the latter who is currently in London shootingRed 2with Bruce Willis and Anthony Hopkins.
