Blockbuster movies from South Korea

Ten critically acclaimed, blockbuster movies that you've probably never heard of are coming to Montreal.

You've never heard of them because they're from South Korea.

This first edition of the Korean Film Festival is organized by Montreal Ciné-Asie. For most of us, it's a rare look into the Korean film industry.

The showcase begins this week.

Mi-Jeong Lee is the founder of Ciné-Asie and the director of the Korean Film Festival. She joins Elizabeth Robertson in-studio.
