About
Friday, October 30, 7:00 p.m. Take Care of My Cat (고양이를 부탁해) Directed by Jeong Jae-eun (South Korea, 2001, 112 min., in Korean with English subtitles, 4K digital restoration) A hit with audiences in 2001, this newly restored classic chronicles the lives of five graduating girlfriends (among them Bae Doona and Lee Yo-won in breakout roles) whose bonds fracture as they contend with unrealized dreams and unequal opportunities. Set in the port city of Incheon, the film tackles notions of class, solidarity, and privilege – in what is now a timeless snapshot of a rapidly evolving society. Suffused with the joys of girlhood, yet clear-eyed about the uneasy transition into adulthood, Take Care of My Cat offers a tender portrait of young women at the turn of the new millennium. KFN 2026: The popular annual festival returns for its 9th edition. Selections showcase new international hits and a female-centered classic, all reflecting the energy and talent of the South Korean film industry. Films are screened in Korean with English subtitles.
