Korean Film Festival Celebrates Music in Cinema in Dubai

The Korean Film Festival is taking place in Dubai from June 27th to the 29th at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library. The theme for the ninth edition of the festival spotlights music’s role in cinema, curating a selection of Korean films where soundtracks and musicality play a central part in the narrative.

The lineup features critically acclaimed titles including Bong Joon-ho’s ‘Parasite’, the psychological thriller ‘A Tale of Two Sisters’, and the creature feature ‘The Host’. Also on the programme is the recent ensemble drama ‘Dog Days’.

Alongside the screenings, audiences can attend a K-movie OST concert and director talks, giving deeper insight into how music is used to drive tone, tension, and character development in Korean film.

Organised by the Korean Cultural Center, the festival continues its mission to introduce regional audiences to the richness and variety of Korean cinema. Full programme details and registration information are available via the Korean Film Festival’s official Instagram page.
