During Asian Heritage Month in May, the “Korean Film Festival Canada” (KFFC) is always held!

We are thrilled to extend our invitation to the 11th KFFC 2024, scheduled from May 21-31, where we will launch our captivating new theme “Arts & Technologies: Sleep, Dream, Body,” co-hosted with MIRL’s the Sociability of Sleep Project at McGill University!“The Sociality of Sleep” project aims to bridge academic research on the social dimensions of sleep with art. It explores how personal experiences intersect with social issues such as productivity, racial and gender inequalities, and medicalization. We will further explore the intersection of creative works and technological advancements through Asian cinema and media art, encompassing both present and future visual cultures, alongside our audience. Shall we delve into the impact of these intersections on our lives through the relationship between art and technology from new perspectives?

Spanning the years 2024 and 2025, KFFC will highlight films and media artworks delving into Korean, pan-Asian, and Asian-Canadian perspectives, without limitations on nations or art disciplines. For the past four years, KFFC has focused on themes like “Women’s Perspectives” and “Environments of Sustainability and Resilience,” showcasing lived stories through the arts.

Thank you to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Centre d’études asiatiques (CÉTASE) at the University of Montreal for supporting the 11th KFFC.We’re also grateful to our venue partners and supporters: Cinema Moderne, Dazibao, Ada X, and diverse Korean community groups in Montreal.
