TREELESS MOUNTAIN - QUARTERLY SCREENING
FRIDAY, MAY 29 | 7PM & | 9PM
Reading Theaters Gaslamp
701 5th Street, San Diego, CA 92101

An incredibly moving story, TREELESS MOUNTAIN is inspired by director So Yong Kim's childhood, and tells a story about the betrayal of children when deprived of the warmth and security of a family home. Entirely unsentimental, TREELESS MOUNTAIN uses images rather than words to effectively create a world in which the audience witnesses a crime.
I finally had the chance to catch this film at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, and it's a wonderful, incredibly well-made movie with stunning performances from the two child leads. It left me thinking about it long after it was over. For more information about the screening, go to the SDAFF website here.
