The Film Lab has teamed up with The Korea Society to host an evening of entertainment, open to the public, ranging from cutting edge film sneak peaks to theatrical performances by American actors.<\/p>\n

The Korea Society and the Asian American Film Lab (\u201cFilm Lab\u201d) are delighted to present a joint entertainment event, open to the public, on October 22nd at 7:00PM at The Korea Society, 950 Third Avenue, in New York City. The Film Lab and The Korea Society have joined forces to encourage multi-cultural collaboration and have created a menu of entertainment for artists and non-artists, alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entertainment should be intriguing to Koreans and non-Koreans alike,\u201d said Fran Bonham of the Korea Society. \u201cWe look forward to hosting a terrific and diverse crowd for this wonderful event and to continuing to bridge the gap between cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The October 22nd event will consist of live performances and video installations, showcasing Korean and Korean American stories, writers and\/or themes in multi-cultural contexts. As a special treat, Film Lab\u2019s Unfinished Works Coordinator, Lorna Nowve, will be moderating the performances in the Film Lab\u2019s signature \u201cUnfinished Works\u201d style, which actually allows the audience to participate in the creative process and to interact directly with the writers, directors, actors, and filmmakers. The event will be a smorgasbord of entertainment and networking opportunities, not to be missed!<\/p>\n

The event will include excerpts from a cutting edge, fascinating new film created by Korean American documentary director, Jae-Ho Chang (nominated for the David L. Wolper Student Documentary Achievement Award by the International Documentary Association, recipient of the Martin Scorsese Young Filmmakers Scholarship and the Ang Lee Scholarship Award). His film ‘The Last Vacation’ aired on PBS and in many festivals, won the Craft Award for Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Acting, and was selected as a Wasserman Finalist at New York University\u2019s First Run Film Festival. His documentary \u2018Ultimate Christian Wrestling\u2019 was awarded Honorable Mention at the 2007 Tribeca All-Access Creative Promise Award, and won the Best Documentary Feature and the Programmer\u2019s Award for Artistic Vision at the New Orleans Film Festival. His latest project is a short film produced by actor Tim Kang (The
\nMentalist).<\/p>\n

Another of the featured works will consist of a professional staged reading by Film Lab Actor Directory members of the short film, \u201cA Day in the Life of Who” by Aimiende Negbenebor Sela. \u201cA Day in the Life of Who” follows a Korean-American photojournalism student who must confront her own troubled past when she inadvertently documents the last day of a homeless woman’s life. A descendant of Nigerian parents, but born in the United States, Aimiende Negbenebor Sela spent the first years of her life in Nigeria, West Africa, before returning to her birth place of New York city in 1997. Her works have appeared in the Fringe Festival and Poland’s “Close Strangers” Festival, among others.<\/p>\n
