Women’s Film Festival in Seoul
Mid-Apr, 2009 (TBA)
This annual film festival usually takes place in the month of April, and has become on of the premiere Asian women’s film festivals. Over the years they’ve welcomed a number of big name women and lesbian directors including Lea Poole and Patricia Rozema and in 2007 a movie about teenage lesbians won a bit prize and a film about M2F transgenders was also presented. There are always a number of English-language entries or films with English subtitles. Their website also has a great English section.
Korea Queer Culture Festival
Early Jun, 2009 (TBA)
Annual, ten-dayfestival that examines queer culture in all its forms: panel discussions, public speakers, parties, and finishing it off with a gay pride street parade. What’s especially great about this event is that they totally make an effort to include lesbians and in 2007 they held events in six different lesbian bars. Their website has a great English section to boot.
Seoul LGBT Film Festival
Early Jun, 2009 (TBA)
This used to be part of the Queer Korea Culture Festival, but in 2007, organizers decided to split the two so appropriate attention could be focused on each particular event. They’ve given themselves the acronym of “SeLFF” as in “express yourself.”
