Anyang Women's Human Rights Film Festival to Screen 'Namtaeryeong,' Host Q&A

The 20th Anyang Women's Human Rights Film Festival is set to screen the documentary 'Namtaeryeong,' offering a chance to revisit its impactful story. The festival, themed 'Our Twentieth Story,' will take place on August 21-22 at CGV Pyeongchon in Anyang City.

This year's festival will feature a diverse selection of 11 short and feature films that delve into critical social issues, including sexual violence, domestic violence, single-parent households, and the experiences of refugees. The program aims to bring these important narratives to a wider audience.

A special screening of the documentary 'Namtaeryeong' is scheduled for August 22 at 12:40 p.m. Following the screening, at 2:35 p.m., a Q&A session will be held with Hyang Yeon, an activist from the 'Namtaeryeong Asphalt Comrades Association,' as the guest. Directed by Kim Hyun-ji, who also directed 'Adult Kim Jang-ha' (2023), 'Namtaeryeong' recounts the story of farmers and young women who confronted police at Namtaeryeong following the December 3rd rebellion.

The festival's opening film on August 21 at 7 p.m. will be 'Master of the World.' The closing film, also on August 22, will be the French film 'Full Time,' which explores the lives and labor issues of working women, followed by 'Someday It Will Explode' at 3:15 p.m.
