Series Four:
The K-Pop Explosion!

The Korean Cultural Service has been rocking out to Korea’s pop music for decades, but only within the past few years has the enjoyable, bubblegum rock known as K-pop seeped into American culture. With groups like 2NE1 and cultural sensation PSY turning heads – and burning up the charts – throughout the world, it was only a matter of time before we tipped our hat to this lovable obsession that Time Magazine calls “South Korea’s Greatest Export!”

So grab your iPod and line up with your friends, because this summer’s toe-tapping concert’s about to begin - only at Tribeca Cinemas!

We’re bringing New York City a quartet of incredible K-pop-infused films guaranteed to lift your spirits and have you singing along with Korea’s unstoppable musical sensation! Let’s rock!

JULY 16 – PLAY (2011)

Mate was an indie band from Korea who happened upon fame in 2009, when Irish musician Glen Hansard (of Swell Season and the hit musical “Once”) spotted them busking in the lobby of one of his concerts. This was the beginning of a dramatic debut, which would see bandmembers Jung Joon-Il, Yim Hun-Il, and Lee Hyun-jae rocketed to fame. Play chronicles these events, with the band appearing as themselves – and staying very truthful to their inspiring story.


JULE 30 – TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN 2: WILD DAYS (2012)

Galaxy Express, one of Korea’s biggest pop sensations, is known all over Asia. Their fame knows no bounds, but when the group decides to go to America, they quickly discover how difficult it can be to approach new people, cultures, and ideas. A stunning documentary that follows the legendary rock band on their most recent solo tour across America, Turn it Up to Eleven 2 is an intimate look into nineteen huge Galaxy Express concerts – and the unbelievable passion that goes into each and every one of them.


AUGUST 13 – I AM. (2012)

The music documentary I Am. follows the chart-topping K-pop band SM TOWN as they prepare for a live performance at one of the world’s most prestigious venues: New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Shining light on what defines the performers and the intense effort that goes into their meticulously-staged concerts, this touching coming-of-age story is just as much about the growing pains and glory of the young artists as it is about their music. Featuring tons of incredible music and amazing K-pop cameos, this is the inside look into Korea’s popular music scene. 

AUGUST 27 – DURESORI: THE VOICE OF THE EAST (2012)

Based on a true story, Duresori: The Voice of the East is shot in documentary style and tells the story of high school seniors Seul-ki and Ah-reum. Like other teenagers, they’re stressing over upcoming college entrance exams – and even more so when they’re forced to join the school choir in order to fill a remaining requirement. There, their unorthodox instructor blends the principles of classic Western music and traditional Korean song. At first reluctant to learn, they find a love for this exciting blend of music… and are forced to band together when the school cancels their annual summer concert. Will their music survive?
