Event Opportunity: London Korean Film Festival: Gyeong-ah’s Daughter screening and Q&A

Sunday 13 November

Ciné Lumière, 17 Queensberry Place, London SW7 2DT

WFTV members are invited to a screening of Gyeong-ah’s Daughter, followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Kim Jung-eun.

Join the London Korean Film Festival for meet-and-drinks with the film’s director before the screening, as an opportunity to mingle and ask questions in the relaxed atmosphere of Cine Lumiere’s Les Salons, before the chance to hear Kim speak in-depth in the post-screening Q&A session.

The film opens to mum Gyeong-ah’s face – she is on a video call with daughter, Yeon-su, who has moved away from home. Care-worker Gyeong-ah lives by herself. Yeon-su is her mother’s rock, but Gyeong-ah barely ever sees her daughter now that she’s moved out. Yeon-su is struggling with her ex-boyfriend, who refuses to let go of their relationship. One day, Yeon-su’s ex forwards a video to Yeon-su’s family and acquaintances, and her world comes crumbling down. Gyeong-ah is appalled by the video, and it drives a huge wedge between her and her daughter. Yeon-su, despite isolating herself from everyone, fights alone to get her life back, and Gyeong-ah does what she can to help her. Gyeong-ah’s Daughter is a thoughtful consideration of digital sex crime, as well as the complex relationship between mother and daughter.

Kim Jung-eun was born in Incheon in 1992. She graduated from the Yong-in University Department of Film and Video in 2015. In the same year, her short film In This Town (2015) screened in the Korean Competition for Shorts at the Jeonju International Film Festival.

Gyeong-ah’s Daughter is Kim Jung-eun’s debut feature.
