The New York Asian Film Festival and The Korean Cultural Service are proud to co-present a special free screening of the hilarious 2013 film FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT, celebrating acclaimed actor HA Jung-woo’s first film as director.
In this acclaimed directorial debut, a pop star, businessman, monk, and paparazzi photographer are among the passengers aboard an airplane when a typhoon strikes. Whereas one might assume the film then becomes tragic, it’s quite the opposite – embracing the brilliant comedic misadventures of the passengers and crew, all convinced a crash is imminent!
The plot was inspired by the real-life experience of Korean actor RYOO Seung-beom, The 2013 New York Asian Film Festival and Korean Cultural Service’s “Actor in Focus.”
And if you want to experience more great cinema from actors-turned-directors, The New York Asian Film Festival will be screening PARK Joong Hoon’s directorial debut, TOP STAR, at The Film Society of Lincoln Center on June 28th! Tickets are available here.
