Co-Presented by the Korean Cultural Center New York & Korea Creative Content Agency New York Center

Korea on Screen is a year-long screening series celebrating the depth and diversity of Korean cinema. This edition turns the spotlight on Korean animation, presenting one feature-length film and five short films across two days.

Through imaginative worlds and distinctive visual storytelling, the program explores relationships shaped by distance and separation, the boundaries that divide individuals and communities, and the fragile beliefs through which people understand themselves and one another. Moving between intimate romance, social allegory, and surreal journeys through memory and loss, these six works demonstrate the expressive range of contemporary Korean animation.
