Hey New York! Save the date, mark it your calendars for the end of the month... The 3rd Annual Korean American Film Festival New York is happening Saturday, February 28 at The Times Center (at the New York Times Building). Just one night, two programs, and some really wonderful works by Korean and Korean American filmmakers. Here's the lineup:

This year's festival consists of two shorts programs, each one followed by a short Q&A session with filmmakers, and a 30-minute intermission between the programs. I have seen and heard of most of the films in the festival, and it's a pretty solid evening of cinema. For more information, and to buy tickets, visit the KAFFNY website here.
