K-Youth

Youth in Korean cinema is a recurring theme – full of energy, rebellion, and unspoken emotions. Korean cinema has been an important part of Five Flavors' identity for years, and this year's program allows us to see how filmmakers have portrayed growing up and coming of age over the decades. K-Youth is a panorama of experiences – from the 1980s, when young Koreans faced oppressive political realities and the suffocating atmosphere of the system, to contemporary productions that draw attention to the dark side of the world of K-pop and the painful struggle with the pressure to succeed.
