The second Emirates Korean Film Festival got underway in Abu Dhabi under the patronage of HH Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Presidents Representative and Chairman of the Sultan Bin Zayed Centre for Culture and Information.

This year’s program, which will run until this Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Theatre, features a remarkably rich lineup of recent Korean films. Seven feature films make up the slate, providing an opportunity for the UAE’s film audience to experience some of South Korea’s dynamic film culture.

The Festival is organised by Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Centre in association with the Korean Embassy, the Zayed University and the Korean Club in Abu Dhabi.

National anthems of UAE and S.Korea were played marking the Festival, which was declared open by Habeeb Yusuf Al Sayegh, Director General of the Centre.

The Festival venues are the Abu Dhabi Theater, The Heritage Village and the Zayed University Abu Dhabi Campus in Khalifa City. All events in the program, including the screenings, workshops and cultural activities, are free of charge.
