The third installment, Dance Town, earned awards at Berlin and the Pusan International Film Festival.Variety Magazine’s Russell Edwards hailed Dance Town as a “confrontational slice of urban life that plays like a blend of John Cassavetes and Ken Loach with a sharp kimchi taste.” Jeon’s next feature film is Varanasi, currently in pre-production. He addresses The Korea Society on the trilogy, shown as part of the MoMA series, as well as his upcoming feature. The event is moderated by Dr. Choi Jung-bong, Assistant Professor of Cinema Studies, New York University.
