In celebration of the museum's opening, KOFA is hosting a film festival through May 25 at the cinematheque, found at the basement of KOFA, one floor below the museum. Outside the theater, you will notice antique posters and gadgets on display as well as a retro-style cafe or ``dabang'' complete with a DJ booth.

The festival is a special opportunity to see rare jewels of old classics. At the opening ceremony last Friday for the museum and film festival, the country's oldest surviving film ``Turning Point of the Youngsters'' (1936) was resurrected on the big screen, complete with a film interpreter who narrated the lines onstage.http://zamunda.net/signup.php

Other rare-to-see works include Shin Sang-ok's ``Bound by Chastity Rules'' (1962), which was featured in the Cannes Classics section last year in France; African-American director Charles Burnett's ``Killer of Sheep'' (1977); Japanese classic ``The Heike Story'' (1955); and French Nouvelle Vague film ``Eva'' (1962).e http://www.movieplanets.com
