Online K-cinema screening of the “Kingmaker”

In Korea, domestic movies regularly outperform North American films. The international success of Oscar-winning films like Parasite is a testament to the quality of the movies produced in Korea's hundred-year-old film industry.

The Korean Cultural Centre Canada (KCC) does a great job of promoting friendship and understanding between Korea and Canada. The latest event being hosted by the KCC is a virtual screening of the political thriller Kingmaker by director Byun Sung-hyun.

The film is about the relationship of two very different men and their roles in bringing about a change of government. Dreaming of changing the world, Seo Chang-dae takes part in Kim Woon-bum’s presidential campaign, where he adopts a very aggressive propaganda campaign and makes Woon-bum the strongest candidate in the opposition party. Ambitious Chang-dae thinks unjust means are necessary for politics, but Woon-bum firmly disagrees. While their conflict deepens, the ruling party secretly contacts Chang-dae to recruit him.

The KCC is presenting a free virtual screening of Kingmaker from Wednesday, June 22nd to Tuesday, June 28th via the VIMEO platform. The screening is available for streaming only within Canada.
