Lee Chang-dong Classics
Celebrated Korean director Lee Chang-dong is hailed as a “poet of cinema.” With his background as a novelist, he masterfully captures the harsh realities of life at the margins with delicate nuance. Peppermint Candy unfolds in reverse from a man’s final moments, revealing how a once-hopeful youth is worn down by fate into someone he never wanted to become. Oasis portrays a forbidden, unconventional romance between an ex-convict and the sister of his victim, where love becomes the only refuge in a barren reality. In Poetry, a graceful elderly woman is forced to confront the shattering truths of life, learning that reality is rarely as beautiful as imagined. Join Giloo in revisiting Lee Chang-dong’s timeless classics, which lay bare the raw, unflinching truths of human existence.

Encore, Before the Goodbye
"My Bucket List" holds no grand dreams, only 100 little things yet undone, and a "see you tomorrow" that was never properly spoken. The same goes for "Encore: Before Saying Goodbye"—here, eternity is left unmentioned; there is only the desire to perform one last song for oneself before the lights go down. The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
