Gender and Economic Inequality and Human Rights in South Korean Film

Thursday, 14 November 2019 | 11:30am to 2:30pm | Room 007, Accolade East Building | York University

York welcomes Director Shin Su-won to screen her film Madonna (2015), which was premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the 68th Cannes Film Festival. A conversation with Shin will follow.

Shin Su-won is a South Korean film director and screenwriter. She wrote and directed Passerby #3 (2010), Circle Line (2012), Pluto (2013), Madonna (2015), and Glass Garden (2017). Her films are highly recommended for the innovative cinematography, the astonishingly creative narrative structure, and the politically charged messages on human rights, economic inequality, and gender issues.

All are welcome.

This event is organized by Hong Kal (Visual Art & Art History) and presented with support from the Faculty and Liberal Arts & Professional Studies and the York Centre for Asian Research, in association with the Korean Office for Research and Education.
