Korean Film Festival Canada: Exploring sleep, dreams, and the body

It’s been over a hundred years since film has become a medium to record slices of life, draw audiences into stories, and capture our imagination.

Today, moving images are all around us: on our social media feeds, ads while waiting for the metro, and on the screens we split between work and leisure. At its most banal, it’s a cat video on our phone, and its most poignant, it’s moving images that translate unspoken corners of our psyche.  

This idea of film as an extension of the body and a medium for expressing interiority are behind this year’s Korean Film Festival Canada (KFFC). Hosted in collaboration with McGill’s Moving Image Research Lab’s project, Sociability of Sleep, the theme is “Arts & Technologies: Sleep, Dream, and Body.”
