The Korean Cultural Center in Hungary is set to host two special movie screenings in November as part of the Korean Movie Road (KMR) program. The screenings will take place on November 7th and 21st, both starting at 6 p.m., offering Hungarian audiences a chance to experience contemporary Korean cinema.
The first screening on November 7th will feature "Handsome Guys" (핸섬가이즈), a 2024 South Korean comedy horror film that combines humor with thrills. Written and directed by Nam Dong-hyup, the movie showcases an impressive cast including Lee Sung-min, Lee Hee-joon, Gong Seung-yeon, Park Ji-hwan, and Lee Kyu-hyung. This genre-blending film represents the innovative storytelling approach that has become characteristic of modern Korean cinema.
The second screening on November 21st will present "Pilot" (파일럿), another 2024 South Korean comedy directed by Kim Han-gyul. The film stars Jo Jung-suk, Lee Ju-myoung, Han Sun-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho in a compelling story about career challenges and personal transformation. The plot follows Han Jung-woo, a star pilot who suddenly finds himself unemployed and must undergo a drastic transformation to successfully secure new employment. This narrative explores themes of resilience and adaptation in the face of unexpected career setbacks.
Attendance at both screenings is completely free of charge, making Korean cinema accessible to all interested viewers in Hungary. However, due to the limited seating capacity at the venue, advance registration is mandatory for those wishing to attend either screening. This requirement ensures that all attendees can enjoy the films in a comfortable viewing environment.
For those interested in attending or seeking additional details about the screenings, comprehensive information is available through the Korean Cultural Center's official website at hungary.korean-culture.org/hu. The Korean Movie Road program continues to serve as an important cultural bridge, bringing the best of Korean cinema to international audiences and fostering cross-cultural understanding through the medium of film.
