Event description
This event has now been cancelled due to Covid-19.
The London Korean Film Festival presents a 35mm screening of Lee Joon-Ik’s ‘The Happy Life’ at Genesis cinema.
Three middle-aged men, all struggling in life, gather together at the funeral of their old classmate. As university students they had all been members of the same rock group, a not entirely-successful endeavour called ‘Active Volcano’. After losing themselves in memories for a time, the jobless Ki-young (Jung Jin-young) suddenly blurts out, “Let’s re-form the band!”. To his friends, and especially to Ki-young’s wife and teenage daughter it sounds like an absurd, crazy idea. But sometimes crazy ideas have a way of picking up steam.
The London Korean Film Festival (LKFF) is the UK’s leading showcase of Korean cinema, and with over 60 titles on offer annually, national press coverage and an ever-increasing audience, it’s one of the largest festivals dedicated to a national cinema in the world. For over 10 years now the festival has introduced premiere screenings of major blockbusters to UK cinema screens while also incorporating indie hits, documentary, animation, shorts, classics and more within its diverse programme.
