Korean comedies

It is difficult to ignore the global influence of South Korean culture today, as proven by the success of K-pop groups and the Squid Game series. And it is thanks to its cinema that South Korea has gradually become a major element of our popular culture over the past 25 years. From Old Boy to Parasite, the South Korean cinema has produced many critical and popular successes and has even won the most important international awards. For the 5th consecutive year, the BSFF is highlighting Korean short films by giving the Seoul International Extreme Short Image & Film Festival (SESIFF) carte blanche. And this year, the SESIFF will offer you a selection of comedies.
