KOFFIA Touring Program

Overview

Since 2010, Sydney has been home to the Korean Film Festival in Australia. While 2025's main fest hits the Harbour City in August, you can also join in without leaving Victoria. Your destination: Benalla Cinema across Saturday, September 13–Sunday, September 14.

One pivotal difference between the regular festival and the regional KOFFIA Touring Program, other than the fact that it's making the trip down south: head to the latter and everything that you see from its four-title lineup is free.

Catch About Family, a dramedy about a chef discovering that he might have grandchildren — and The Noisy Mansion focusing on a tenant and her neighbours trying to discover why their building is plagued by strange sounds. Benalla audiences can also watch Forbidden Fairytale, about a children's book author who starts ghostwriting online erotica.

Plus, Hear Me: Our Summer is one of the highlights, with the romantic drama co-starring former Iz*One member Kim Minju, remaking Taiwan's Hear Me and seeing a love story blossom via Korean Sign Language.
