Four Important Upcoming Events
Hope to see you at these great events!
1. Flim Screening of “Approved for Adoption”
When: November 8, 2013, Saturday, 7:15pm
Where: Angelika Film Center Add to Favorite Theaters, 18 W. Houston St. NEW YORK, NY 10012 (212) 995-2570
Nodutdol is proud to be a community partner for the screening of this film. This is a story of Korean filmmaker/animator Jung Henin, who was adopted by a Belgium family from South Korea. The film is mostly animated by hand by Jung and tells his life story growing up in Europe and eventually returning to Seoul for his first time since he was abandoned. The film first premiered in 2012 and played at the Annecy Animation Film Festival. Even if you’ve never heard of this, it’s admirable for the animation and story alone. We believe that Korean overseas adoptees comprise an important part of Korean diasporic communities around the world, and we were told that this is a great introduction to rather complicated issue of international adoption. In order to get a group rate – please contact for more info. We are gathering up approximately 25 people for Friday showing! Please contact nodutdol by email or any of the members for this important event. We will held a separate discussion session after the film screening!

MEMORY OF FORGOTTEN WAR is a new documentary by award winning filmmaker Deann Borshay Liem and Prof. Ramsay Liem. This film conveys the human costs of military conflict through deeply personal accounts of the Korean War (1950-53) by four Korean-American survivors. Their stories take audiences through the trajectory of the war, from extensive bombing campaigns, to day-to-day struggle for survival and separation from family members across the DMZ. Decades later, each person reunites with relatives in North Korea, conveying beyond words the meaning of family loss. These stories belie the notion that war ends when the guns are silenced and foreshadow the future of countless others displaced by ongoing military conflict today.
This film will be followed by a panel featuring Prof. Jae Jung Suh, an expert on US- Korea relations, international relations of East Asia, and international security, film co-director Ramsay Liem and writer/artist Sukjong Hong.
This is an event sponsored by the Colin L. Powell school for Civic and Global Leadershipo, the Documentary Forum of CCNY, and the Media and Communication Department of CCNY.
