A WereWolf Boy
| dir: Jo Sung-hee | 2012 | 122 min A mother moves with her older daughter and younger daugh- ter to a large home in the country side. The older daughter suffers from a lung ailment and her doctor advised the family to move out into the country side. The home is provided by Ji-Tae, the son of a business partner who worked with their deceased father. While the family gets acclimated to their new surroundings, the older daughter makes a remarkable discov- ery. Within a locked room in the barn lives a wild boy. The family takes him in believing he is just an orphan with few social skills. The boy begins to take an interest in the oldest daughter. Meanwhile, Ji-Tae has his own plans in marrying the oldest daughter. What's the secret behind the wild boy?
TAeGUKGI
| dir: Kang Je-gyu | 2004 | 148 minWestern movie-goers rarely get to see the Korean War from the Korean side, although M*A*S*H gave us brief glimpses during its long run on TV. This South Korean epic follows the lives of two brothers roughly conscripted into the conflict.
The older brother, Lee Jin-Tae, tries to secure the freedom of the younger brother, Lee-Jeon, by performing brave acts, but all he does is incur the boy’s anger and jealousy. This intense- ly moving drama doesn’t care which side is right or wrong, it shows the horrible consequences of war on families and ordinary people. It is harrowing to watch, but director Kang Je-Gyu gets his message across – war is hell, for all of us.
Guest speaker introduces the film from a cinematic perspective.

Retir- ing to a small rural town with his grandfather, he finds a new and more peaceful existence, but when a nationwide cooking competition offers him the chance to take on his long-time rival, he embarks on a journey that will forever change his view of the world and lead him to the most startling revelations.

PUNCH
| dir: Lee Han | 2011 | 107 minAn acclaimed coming-of-age film based on the popular novel by Kim Ryeo-ryeong about 18 year old Wanduk and his eccentric- family. Wanduk’s father is hunchback. His live-in uncle isn’t com- pletely normal either. What’s more, his mother, who makes an appearance in his life out of the blue, is Filipino. And then there is his homeroom teacher, Dong-joo, who is every bit the trou- blemaker Wanduk is... The film begins as a coming-of-age story, but turns into a social drama dealing with such crucial issues as the generation gap, education, disability, and multi-culturalism.
It does all this and imparts some valuable lessons while provid- ing entertainment and inspiration.
