The Korean Film Archive (KOFA) is holding a special exhibition, 21st Century Korean Films: The Age of Well-made Cinema, at the Korean Film Museum.
The exhibit features notable film trends that shaped the past two decades through video, media displays and an art wall displaying film posters, stills and pamphlets.
Korean cinema has enjoyed an unprecedented renaissance over the last 20 years, achieving quantitative and aesthetic growth. The global status of Korean films has increased dramatically thanks to Parasite, which became the first non-English-language movie to win the Best Picture award at the Oscars.
