Overview

Whether it's delicious barbecue or K-pop, everyone has a soft spot for the cuisine, art and culture that comes from Korea. This spring sees the Korean Film Festival returning to Wellington for viewers to enjoy the best of Korean cinema for 2019.

The entirely free film festival is organised by the Korean Embassy to promote and educate on Korean culture. Hosted by the much-loved Roxy Cinema, enjoy the intimate cinema setting right in the heart of the city. A total of five features and two short films will be shown for absolutely free, including Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, which won the top award at Cannes for 2019, South Korean period drama The Face Reader, and Swing Kids, a musical drama set during the Korean War.

All the films will be shown in Korean with English subtitles, so any non-speaker can still follow along. Tickets include a booking fee.
