Congratulations to Bong Joon-ho and Parasite for making history! I’ve always been confused how South Korea was never shortlisted for an Oscar, let alone win, and now it seems I’ve nothing to complain about anymore. South Korean cinema is now on the map in a big way! So happy 😁

The video of the forum I participated in at this years Korean Film Festival in Australia is now up. Despite hating hearing the sound of my own voice, it was definitely a proud moment for me and worth the watch! #KOFFIA #koreancinema

Last night I had the pleasure to discuss Bong Joon-ho’s masterpiece ‘Parasite’ with Mark Naglazas at @LunaCinemas. I had a fantastic time not only discussing the film but also introducing so many people to the immense and wild world of South Korean cinema!

[Niall McMahon @The_KnightofNi]
