SINCE 2000, KIMA has played a vital role for Korean American film in Northern California and has provided a rare opportunity for Korean Americans to experience Korean cinema and independent media work. We aim to establish an open community where different ideas and Korean American experiences are shared among Korean American community members and to further strengthen a global network of Korean American media artists.
HIGHLIGHTS Previous festivals included recognized Korean films such as Oasis, Memories of Murder, and Taegukki among many others and Korean American feature films such as Robot Stories, Grace Lee Project, and Score . We've also showcased various short films and independent documentaries covering issues from negotiating ones identity to domestic violence. In addition to the screenings, the Festival has brought prestigious directors such as Greg Pak, Myung Se Lee, Je-Kyu Kang, Seung Wan Ryu and many others. And the festival is known as an exciting hub for filmmakers, critics, scholars, and film lovers.
