Description
The South Korean legislative elections of this past April, the presidential elections coming this December, the recent death of Kim Jong-il, and ongoing economic challenges make these particularly interesting times in Korean politics. Dr. Un-Chan Chung will offer his reflections on recent developments and current challenges, from the perspective of a scholar of the Korean economy and a leading figure on the country’s public scene.
Dr. Un-Chan Chung was Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea from 2009-2010, after serving as President of Seoul National University, where he taught economics for more than thirty years. He has been a member of numerous government commissions, and taught or lectured at universities including Columbia, the University of Hawaii, the London School of Economics, and the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum. He holds a PhD in economics from Princeton, and is the author of many publications on economic questions, including The Korean Economy after the IMF Bailout Loan and East Asia’s Economic Crisis: The Case of Korea.

Description
The Toronto Korean Film Festival (TKFF) is an annual 9 days festival founded in 2012. We are a group of young Korean film enthusiasts, who got together with the common goal of wanting to share Korean culture and films with the Toronto community. We feel strongly about the power of this medium and aim to create synergy between Koreans, Canadians, filmlovers, scholars, and Toronto.
Toronto Korean Film Festival successfully launched on January of 2012 with the slogan : Taste Kimchi Cinema.
With the purpose of expanding international Korean film market and its recognition in Toronto, we are hosting free retrospective screenings of leading Korean directors. February 25th, 2012 launched the first of the series, with director Lee Myung-se’s“Nowhere to Hide”. The retrospective screenings will be held in various Toronto academic locations including University of Toronto, Ryerson university, OCAD, Seneca, and York university.
The 10 day festival will be held from June 22nd until July 1st, 2012. With support from various local media groups and fellow film festivals, we are confident in our strong programming. The festival will be composed of various genres, classics and new films, up and coming directors, indie works, shorts, and many others. The variety in the programming will satisfy audiences of all ages while bringing Korean traditional and contemporary culture to Torontonians. Toronto Korean Film Festival is not just a celebration for the Koreans in Toronto, but will push towards becoming a celebration in Canada for Korean culture.
