Korean Feature at the SF International Film Festival
"Shadows In The Palace", directed by Kim Meejeung.
Synopsis: In Korea's Chosun era, court maids live and work as virtual slaves in the palace of the emperor. When a maid is found hanging in her room, it is officially declared a suicide, however, Chun-ryung, a female court doctor, discovers clues that suggest murder. Although warned not to interfere with palace affairs, she investigates on her own, uncovering the harsh reality of court life.
KAPS will be attending a screening on Thursday, May 8 at 7:45PM at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas (corner of Post and Fillmore).
To reserve your ticket, please e-mail taejung@gmail.com. For more information about the film, please visit http://fest08.sffs.org/films
