Korean Film Festival
The Korean Film Festival in Australia (KOFFIA) is back for its 6th year and it’s already receiving the hype to be an amazing installment to the series. Upon the release of the poster for 2015, Twitch film has gone to say it was “the best poster to date”. KOFFIA is the most celebrated annual festival in Australia to showcase the very best and latest in Korean cinema. From ground breaking blockbusters, Arthouse delights to heartwarming rom-coms there is something in the line-up for everyone!
Presented by the Korean Cultural Centre Australia and Samsung, this year’s festival goes with the theme of harvest and will engage all Australians with the ‘cream of the crop’ from the Korean film industry.
Featuring a complement of 20 features and 4 guest visit sessions, the festival will see over 80 screenings take place across Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide. With almost 20,000 people attending the festival to date, the festival expects to double all our figures in 2015. The festival will return with our venue partners; Event Cinemas and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image Federation Square.

Great festival. Great films
We saw 'Cart' - an interesting insight into a little bit of Korean culture. Lovely and comfortable theatre, and the film left us with a long conversation for the rest of the night. It made us appreciate a lot of things! Would recommend viewing a film from this festival.
"A Hard Day" was one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Intense, intriguing story. I was on the edge of my seat. Absolutely must see.
