Korean Film Festival in NYC

If you are looking to learn more about Korean culture, watching Korean movies is a great way to do so. Korean movies tend to be very unique from the average Hollywood movie but do not always have happy endings. The only thing to get used to is reading subtitles!

If you live in New York, you should check out the Korean Film Festival happening from February 24th-26th.
